If there’s one thing you take from this account, is that you can trust anything that nb Magazine puts in my hands for review. I’ve yet to see them miss. I was a little apprehensive about The Happy Couple by Naoise Dolan because I found her debut novel, Exciting Times, to be a little slow. But I’m happy to say that I thoroughly enjoyed all of it, which was enhanced dramatically when I was able to see Dolan interviewed at Waterstones Brighton.
You can read my full review of The Happy Couple here, and here’s a snippet to tempt you:
“Perhaps my favourite part of this book is the raw humanity of it. For a group of people with such vivid inner lives made up of varying degrees of talent, money, wit, education and experience, they are all scared children fighting for the most attention, the biggest sweet and the best toy to make things all better, when really, they’re all just hungry for love.”
