-Bookclub pick- 
Very promising story, but it just lost me too many time along the way. I could not get into the Miama imaginary world, and failed to care much about the characters despire most of them being likeable/intriguing/unique. The book is not bad by any means, just not for me.

I loved this book.

When I read A Man Called Ove, it took me a little while to get into it. That was not the case here.

I think I can see why people might not like it, but the whole reading experience made my heart and mind very happy.

 Long and slow, but easy reading and quite sweet.
