Nobody does quirky, eccentric, complex characters like this author! This book felt a bit more plot-driven and structured than the Cassons, and almost as lovable as them. The ending was so clever. It took all this time to really understand that Binny missing Max was just as much about missing her dad. 
I listened to the audiobook and thoroughly enjoyed the narration.
