Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt

Go to review page

Did not finish book. Stopped at 33%.
It wasn't bad, but I got to a part where everything just felt really predictable. Also just felt a little too sweet and I wasn't in the mood for that. I think those who like a Man Called Ove and other similar books would probably like this one.
