Overall, I enjoyed it, although I felt like it maybe should have been a little bit longer.
I listened to the audiobook, and do have a few criticisms about the narration, though. The main character is American, but the narrator sounded like an Irish person using an American accent. I looked her up later, and it turns out she's Canadian and lives in London, so maybe some of that trans-Atlantic sound has rubbed off. I dunno. She did a good job with the posh English and (I think) the Mancunian accent as well, although I think the New Yorker character's accent was a bit overdone. However, while I didn't like the narration very much, it wasn't bad enough to detract from the book.
