This book was really very good. It was clever and funny, all while exploring difficult subject matter. I was expecting to be utterly blown away though...and I just wasn't. Maybe it was the fast pace of it all? Didn't feel like things really landed before we moved on? Not sure what the disconnect was. Super fun having read Huck Finn not too long ago and experiencing parts of that story for a different perspective.
