A Long Way Down 1

So far this book isn't as bad as I thought it would be. I think that Martin is the only person that has a slightly good reason to kill themselves after loosing his job, family and going to jail over a stupid mistake. Jess and JJ dont really have a good reason and the problems that Maureen has can be helped. I dont really understand why JJ would lie about why he wanted to kill himself especially saying that he had a terminal illness that he made up it would be easier to say he had cancer and even easier to tell the truth. I have a feeling that he's eventually going to have to to tell them too. If I was him I would have just told the truth. I don't understand why he brought the pizza too. It seems like it was a quick desicion because he was on his moped from work.
