I love Miranda July. This book is genuinely odd, weird and yet has moments that surprise in their unexpected beauty and poignancy. July throws us into a strange situation with strange characters but reveals truths and funny observations with cheeky delight. Overall I read this in a haphazard way, so perhaps was never fully immersed in this world and characters. But regardless would delight in the odd, whimsical and wonderful of the mundane.
