The narrator is excellently written and funny as hell. While this book didn't knock my socks off, the premise, the cast of characters, Greta's way of going about her life -- it's all so charming, dark, and engaging -- this book has quickly become one of my favorites, and will probably be one of the "comfort books". One potential reason why I love it so much might be because I had it audiobook format, and the cast of readers did an amazing job.
