Things We Have in Common

I enjoyed this book which seemed like a kind of alternative crime novel. I did feel the pace of the story a little slow at times although there was enough to keep me wondering what would happen next. I felt very sorry for Yasmin who was vulnerable and needed help but the right help just wasn't there for her leading to her comfort eating and yearning and fantasising about relationships. Yazmin and Mr. Caldwell were similar in that they were both lonely and needing to belong. The ending wasn't quite what I was expecting and did leave me wondering what did happen to Alice and what would happen to yasmin and Mr Caldwell.
