I liked this book but didnt love it. The main character is interesting and sad and funny and depressing and loving. She is a lot of things and maybe desperate most of all to find a sense of meaning in her life. The ending surprised me but I'm not sure if it will surprise everyone - sometimes I think I'm not paying enough attention! I would recommend this book I just wouldn't advise that it will be one of those "blow you away" type stories though still a good read.
