A Spot of Bother by Mark Haddon

Not as good as his debut novel, but I liked reading this. Haddon has a touch for dialogue, and this book reaches more depth with its characters' emotions and problems. As is true in life, things are not clear cut for them, as their attempts to sort things out jumps among good and bad, detachment and earnest, anger and love, and everywhere else. Although our own lives sometimes reflect this haphazardness, I can't completely relate to the story, and I don't know why.
