Excellent coming of age British novel

This is a British book about three women who live together - a 17 year old daughter Charlotte, her 34 year old single mother Karen and her grandmother Nan who has dementia. It is narrated in first person alternating between the three women though primarily the daughter and mother. One warning though this book contains descriptive teen sex scenes and deals with such themes as teen pregnancy, adoption, and a brief (though very disturbing) mention of child abuse. Overall a very good story about mother/daughter relationships and how they relate to each other.
