Joyce creates characters that you'll love dearly and want to have a pint with, and of course horrible ones that would make you pull your hair out in anger if they were part of your life. **They feel real, and everything feels heartfelt and genuine **as their lives unfold before you. Reader Review
Tons of laughs, fantastic characters, surprises, and plenty of heart. Reader Review
