The characters are all pretty great, especially one we don't meet until later in the book

(Henry's mother)

. What I loved most though was the plot construction. Even though the content of the story is very different from Tesh’s novel, Some Desperate Glory, the shape of the plot felt familiar, and just like last time, I enjoyed the ride!

3.0

I thought the prose, atmosphere, and the

loneliness aspect of the main character

were executed well, but if you take the setting/environment aside, it felt like a typical romance book, nothing new. Really enjoyable up to the first half, but then it took a nosedive with how fast things progressed, especially before the ending so that things could be wrapped up. Would have been excellent if fleshed out a little further. I liked it overall but ultimately forgettable.
