4.0
In her unconventional approach to the mystery of love and relationships, Catherine Lacey writes a kind of spiritual descendant of the Stepford Wives. The main character is frustratingly and endearingly passive, often finding life happening to her.
A star lost for part 2 of the book which shifts from a first person to a third person omniscient narrator. Too much time is spent on the inner loves of characters we will never see again and who do little to serve the story.
