Jane is Trying (W&N Essentials)

Product Information

I thought that the big reveal of what happened in Room 3 would go some way to explaining Jane’s motivations and actions in her adult life but in the end it felt a bit of a let-down. Her TV credits include Dobby in Peep Show and Esther in Shameless , plus appearances on 8 Out of 10 Cats, Would I Lie To You? Don’t even get me started on the others… Monica the therapist, the friendship with Kelly… The characters were so silly and unbelievable. At times i wanted to give Jane a shake and a talking too but I'm glad she pulled herself together and came out stronger at the end!

There's a mystery, something bad that happened in Jane's past - there may have been some eye rolling on my part when that is first mentioned but what is revealed is not at all the same sort of event as we might now expect. That’s a tribute to my friend who once genuinely convinced me that it was pronounced “The Ma-goose”.Dealing with anxiety and how it can come to be in a sensitive matter, this book really highlighted those fatalistic intrusive thoughts that are often out of our control but become all-consuming. Mark Steel lives down the road and told me amazing stories about living in squats during the 80s that had me crying with laughter. It came across as a weak attempt at trying to explain some of the reasons behind Jane's mental health concerns. Suttie portrays the more honest aspects of what are usually regarded as the best parts of life - family, relationships, friends, careers - with warmth and grit ― I NEWSPAPER --This text refers to the hardcover edition. There’s a lot that can be said for reading ‘celebrity authors’, some of it valid for certain attempts.

Everyone assumes they know best but all their interventions buffet her away from the happiness she’d get from being in control. Then the last-minute romance with Robbie felt rushed and kind of came out of nowhere, as though the author had run out of ways to keep the book going so she threw in another source of tension.By completing your purchase, you agree to Audible's Conditions of Use and authorise Audible to charge your designated card or any other card on file. I loved some of the other characters who were well written and believable - especially Monica the hopelessly unprofessional therapist and Kelly a single mother who takes Jane under her wing. With an increasing load on her plate, friends and family who think she'll have a perfect life if she only listens to them, and a brain which questions every decision she's ever made, can Jane conquer her demons and step forward on her own?
