About this listen

Her father left years ago, her mother is dissolving into gin and cigarettes, and her brother has lost himself to drugs. In these four linked stories, a young woman tries to come to terms with the addiction and desertion that caused her family to crumble. Treading in lonely territory, yet tinged with hope, How Much Living Can You Buy? shows a smart, gritty young woman faced with a choice: resign herself to the ways of her family and a slow slide into despair, or deliberately create a meaningful life where she can love and be loved.

Ordered this after really enjoying North of Here. However, I'm struggling to believe it's the same author and have given up after just two chapters. This book seems very crass and overly sexual and the narrator has a rather annoying voice.

Very disappointed
