I really wanted to love this book. Based on the description, I was looking forward to a unique storyline laced with humor. The characters were quite boring and forgetable. The story didn’t pull you in and the story just dragged on.

The problem with this novel is the overall blandness of the main character, the descriptions, the plot … well, everything. Once I get past the unique “hook” of the novel, nothing in the writing makes me care what happens. Even in the “exciting” moments, the descriptions are so methodical and organized and flat. It’s like the energy has been drained from the prose. Maybe that’s deliberate? But it’s not written in first person, so maybe it’s just over thinking an otherwise interesting idea. In the end, I quit halfway through because nothing was drawing me back to the story.

The only problem with this wonderful, delightful book is, I want more!!
