Who knew an advert for a quiz team would bring such a disparate group of characters together. Meet the Red Hot Quizzy Peppers:

Donna wants to be the love 'em and leave 'em no string girl, even with her family.  Harry, who has just lost his job, his fiancée and is afraid of disappointing his ever unapproving mother. Luke and Jaime who came from the Cumbrian countryside and are coming to regret it as the London life puts a strain on their long-term relationship. Bryony the teenaged bride who became a mother of 2 and feels that life is passing her by.

From disastrous beginnings this group began to take the league by storm.  As they progress in the league, we learn more about what has brought them together including overbearing parents, feeling unfulfilled and various mental health struggles, the biggest being general loneliness in a city of over 10 million people.

A heartfelt, witty and engaging story.  I really enjoyed the quiz question headers at the start of the chapters.  The changing POV kept the story fresh and really allowed you to see what motivates each of our MC's.  I must admit Luke was the hardest character for me to like - he just always came across as such a negative but narcissistic nellie!
