The Gum Thief by Douglas Coupland

5.0

I love books that make me feel like I know the characters, that I'm going to remember them as friends for a long time. Books like this and Where'd you go Bernadette? seem to use a method of letters to really make their characters come alive. This book is brilliantly clever and the characters are so real. For a book that can be depressing, it also constantly gives hope. It's darkly hilarious, probably one of my new favorites.
