This book is rich in complicated ways. Loneliness, loss, and the sadness that comes from unfulfilled love permeate this novel, yet it feels hopeful. This book is nowhere near as strong as Moore's most recent novel (The Unseen World), but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Moore did some interesting things with grammar and dialogue in this book.
