I'm sorry I missed this book when it first came out. I loved it. Dave Eggers writes with a voice that feels slightly younger than mine, but I identified so much with the feeling that we are so alone with no support system, feeling old, getting older, trying to love, sometimes feeling you are using friends and family for your own needs, feeling used yourself, and underneath, not sure what else you can do. The ending was hard, but felt so true.
