I enjoyed Separation Anxiety throughout, but it was only when I arrived at the book’s finale that I came to appreciate its true quality. While reading the first few chapters, I found Judy, the main character, a trifle annoying. An author suffering from writer’s block, she is warm, funny and open-hearted, but if, like me, you suffer from stiff-upper-lip syndrome, also a tad irritating until you allow yourself to get on her wavelength.
