A Long Way Down

Even though I was expecting a lot more (I've been wanting to read this for a few years), I did enjoy the story. Nick Hornby is a great author.

I think I would have liked Jess and JJ more had I read this when I was in high school (around the time when it was published). I would have thought that JJ was ‘deep' and that Jess was a bit more ‘appropriately anguished'. Hopefully they were fun to write, but I found that they were rarely insightful and were mostly plot tools.
I did love when Jess talked about being tied to others, now to see if I can find the quote.
