I feel like a lot of the assumptions that the writer/the two narrators think you have about like, class don't apply in the same way in the U.S. In that way, the two voices in this book come off as kind of irritating.
Also, the two narrators are set in two different typefaces: Helvetica and Garamond. Just sayin'. Some people may find that obnoxious.
I'm sorry I waited so long to read this book. This book is a wonder. It makes me want to take the words in this book, toss them in the air and let them shower me with their perfection.
Highly recommend!
