4.0
A clever book that ranges from quirky and funny to sad and reflective. The type of slow paced novel where not a whole lot happens and yet you keep reading.
Pretty strong for a debut novel although the characters were a bit flatter than I would have liked, and I would have enjoyed a deeper exploration of some of the themes.

Overall this book raises more questions than it answers and I think that's the point.
