This was a really interesting book. The prose mirrors the style of 'on earth we are briefly gorgeous' in being poeticly written. Unfortunately, it is a victim of its time with several outdated stereotypes, however I still enjoyed it overall

I cannot enjoy books narrated by characters you're bound to detest

Great writing, couldn't put it down, and i'm still thinking about it--but the end left me more frustrated (not the good kind) than i like to be at the end of a good book.
