There were some character interactions and conversations that were funny enough to make me laugh out loud. I appreciated the midwestern / small town vibes and found the characters to be perfectly believable. 

At the heart of the story is a man with intellectual disabilities and his evolving relationship with the main character, Jane, and her family. 

I enjoyed many of the small moments in this book. I cackled when the main character decided to bleach the hair above her lip and thought she maybe looked like a sexy Colonel Sanders and her boyfriend assured her she was more of a Pretty Mark Twain.

A quiet novel with a cast of interesting characters where not a lot happens except the daily trappings of life.

I didn’t love this book. There are interesting parts but it feels trite.
