wanted to be disappointed in this novel but in the end i wasn't, and i can honestly recommend it if you're one for suspending disbelief in “slice of life” fiction. the large chapters and fluid story made this book incredibly difficult to put down (luckily i had a 5 hour flight to get out of the way).

my only gripe is that the characters and their relationships need to be better developed to understand motivations more. there were things brought up at the end that weren't even hinted at previously that needed some pretext.

otherwise, a good read for a story that no one can predict.
