A fantastic re-read, I loved the second person writing and narration as it brought the book to life in its form and allowed me to reminisce. Stunning prose by Hamid.

Quirky writing that takes time to get used to, but the dry humor and very real personalities really sucked me in.

I found the form of a self help book interesting if not perfect.
