A review by cliobemuzedbookworm
The Gum Thief by Douglas Coupland

4.0

A book about a friendship that develops between two Staples employees when one day one of them finds out that the other has been pretending to be her in his diary. A wonderful book that shows us that no matter how downcast our lives might look, there is still hope - through friendship abd selfunderstanding. I thought it was really nicely told through the perspective changes and the novel inside a novel - which I also found to be really good and addicting as both Bethany and her mother DeeDee agreed on. Drenched with Coupland's usual comic voice. Great ending!
