Very beautifully written with a compelling premise. The beginning and middle really hooked me, but I do feel like the story started to lose momentum in the last 1/4ish. 

There were also some elements that I would have liked to be explored a bit more that to me fell a bit flat - like

June's relationship with Mr Francis, particularly June having to come to terms with how he saw her, or the woman in 411.

  I also would have liked some of the sweetwater effects to be described a bit more clearly instead of just being talked around or alluded to.

Still, an excellent book - I expect my copy will get loaned out to multiple people I think will like it as much as I did.
