Man this book was great! This was my first Towles book and I was pretty impressed. Though he didn't use quotation marks for dialouge, I found that I could adjust to it a lot easier. Kate was such a cool character! Pretty down to Earth in terms of 'main characters' but I liked how she got more adventurous in the end. I loved Tinker and Eve as well-- their relationship was so complex.
I liked Tinker's saviour complex towards Eve. Do to the fact that he kinda sorta got everyone in a car accident. Also Wallace :(( man why'd you have to go fight in the war. You had purpose and Kate fell in love with you! But I liked the touch that she did end up was Val, one of Wallce's brothers. It was a cool full circle moment. Also Kate being a 'couger' to Dicky in that time MAN that was funny. Dicky was sweet. And then Tinkers 'god-mother' aka sugar mommy as the plot twist-- good on her to be honest.
I'm exicted to read more of Towles!
