![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I loved her development through the book, as she learned that it’s okay to ask for help and rely on others. She’s stubborn and proud and has had to grow up too quickly to take care of her mam and this all played perfectly into her character and decisions. I very quickly connected with Aideen and could always empathise with her and understand her motivations, even as she made mistakes and frustrated me at times. Ciara Smyth has a real talent for writing characters that can be unlikeable and prickly to those around them, while allowing the reader to completely understand and sympathise with them. Lighthearted and real, Not My Problem is Derry Girls in book form and a must read for all contemporary lovers.Īideen was a great main character and I loved reading from her perspective. ![]() Ciara Smyth explores themes of poverty, alcoholism, family and friendship with grace and nuance, offsetting them perfectly with her signature humour, teen hijinks and a charming romance. Not My Problem is laugh out loud funny and full of heart – a coming of age novel that will stay with you long after the final page. How am I supposed to review my most anticipated release of the year? From the first page I knew my fears that it wouldn’t live up to The Falling in Love Montage or my (extremely high) expectations were pointless. ![]()
