I will preface this by saying this book does not really have a plot. But honestly, that is not a major concern for me. I do not need a clear beginning, middle, end with an intro, climax, denoument.
This book is told in four narratives (Taylor's being the only one not told in the first person, interesting). It basically follows the lives of the four characters through a period of their lives. The prose and dialogue is done well and is realistic. I definitely underlined/dog-eared a few lines and pages, there were quotes and passages that were worth coming back to.
One thing I found funny is that the author wrote something about everything going on was like an indie movie, it was all so important but no one could understand why. She was poking fun, but the book is very similar to the movies she was referring to. Maybe that's why I liked it so much?
This book is thought provoking, but still manages to be a quick read as it pulls you in. I wouldn't say I couldn't put it down, but it was almost there.
