Found this a great read I loved the setting the witty undertones among the darker aspects and I felt it was well written with characters you felt invested in. It's a change to read to fiction like this you don't get many books like this now and it was a pleasure to read something that felt fresh.

This is the story of two men who meet in a maternity hospital where their partners have both just given birth to boys. They are from opposite sides of the tracks in Glasgow but their lives are set to interact in unexpected ways. The depiction of criminality and drug use in the underclass of the town is reminiscent of Shuggie Bain. The polar opposites of the two lifestyles is exaggerated, but never becomes cliched because of the talent of the writer, Both characters show compassion and weakness at various times. The plot is rollicking and full of gritty detail and surprises. I loved it.
