there were many times i was very close to dnf'ing this book and the only reason i didn't was because i wanted to know how everything worked out. however, the ending of this book is, in my opinion, too open. so many of the sub plots and even, i would argue, the main plot weren't resolved. 
i also didn't like any of the characters expect grandma anna and i didn't like or feel a connection to mickey at all. 
i found the premise of the book  interesting and an important conversation to be had. the actual book itself felt frustrating.
