This reads a little like fan fiction...it's ultimately probably necessary in order to understand what comes after, as though SJM wrote it for herself to build up to the rest of the series but then decided it would sell enough to warrant publishing on its own. Not much actually happens in this book; it's mostly interpersonal vignettes, sex, and brooding. (I suppose that's what the whole series is really based on though!) I'm glad it was short/easy to listen to in a day.
