Really didn't like either of the main characters and didn't enjoy either of their perspectives. They were both just awful!
The author has a lovely tone of voice/writing style though and I would read other books of hers despite not loving this.

I almost quit reading in the first half because the narration didn't seem to be going anywhere. I kept going because a friend raved about the book, especially the change in perspective in the second half. She was right that the second half was much more interesting. I admire what Groff pulled off as a writer, but I still don't count this as one of my favorites.
