It took me a while to fully enjoy this book. The pacing was slow at the beginning and I wish there was a bit more to the ending. Otherwise I loved the writing (as to be expected) and was completely absorbed by the latter half of the story. I definitely liked My Year of Rest and Relaxation better, just because it felt more fleshy. Still, a great read.
