“Can you do this? Because if you are not able to hop on one foot you may as well kill yourself. Nobody will hire you. Nobody will marry you. Nobody will want to be your friend.”

“That’s not even original, said Logan. That’s Bart Simpson -
You don’t have to be original when your time is up said Thebes. Word to yer mama.”

“He shook his head slowly, sighed like a burned-out social worker with an impossible caseload, and said in a fake earnest voice, Yup, where are the fathers?”

IM SO EXCITED TO READ THIS (ESPECIALLY BECAUSE MY WORK BESTIE HAS LENDED IT TO ME)

The writing style is magnificent so I have now committed to putting quotes I like into my notes app
1. “It’s impossible to move through the stages of grief when a person is both dead and alive”

Wonderful road trip novel, full of humour and humanity. Hattie returns from Paris to care for her niece Thebes 11 and nephew Logan 15 when her sister is admitted. Thinking she's not up to caring for them, she takes them on a road trip to find their father, with a very vague idea of where he might be.
Engaging and insightful and beautifully flawed so far.
