Seemingly anonymous to her customers, the girl at the till finds them the source of endless entertainment: lovers' tiffs, farcical family feuds and intimate secrets. I checked this book out of my local library as it was recommended to me by a friend, I didn't have high hopes for this book but I thought I'd give it a go anyway. In theory this book sounds very dull, it's about the author's (Tazeen Ahmad) time as a check out girl in Sainsbury's. It's written in a series of diary entries and talks a lot about the recession and the state of the economy in 2008/2009. Now this may not sounds like an exciting page turner but I couldn't put this book down, I enjoyed people watching through the author's eyes! It's amazing what information people will divulge to a complete stranger. I recommend this book if you're looking for a quick and easy read and it's definitely geared towards women, I'm not sure that boys or men would enjoy this book.
I gave this book 3 out of 5 stars :)
