Wow! What starts as a monologue and tends to wax poetic quickly pulled me in with the vivid picture of life that it was painting. There is sex - but real, honest, gritty, sometimes messy, sometimes fantastic, just like real life. The world is rich, and while the page count may be high it flies by. I had 'one more page' moments as well as some dread of events yet to come. It was beautiful.
