Thoroughly enjoyed. Lovely prose without being verbose. I found the first part a little frustrating but became hooked in the second part and inhaled the rest of the book.
In particular I loved how the relationship escalator is (relatively nonchalantly) challenged. I also found<Ava's relationship with men and her sexuality interesting.
