For the first few pages, I thought I wasn't smart enough for this book. The secret is to just accept what is happening in the moment and not try to piece anything together. The story will unfold. You don't have to understand every minute thing that happens.

I loved the tiny glimpses of worlds presented throughout. Appreciated the cultural references. Very witty in its use of language. Added several words to my vocab list.
