![]() ![]() During a recent writing course, I was warned against this because it confuses the sense of time and is less immediate than the present tense. It’s told in first person, past tense, which is quite rare for novels. It’s a short, quick and magical little book that makes a big impact. I added the half because I’m so torn between four and five stars! There are so many wonderful things about this book – the irreverent and witty writing, the neurotic and loveable protagonist, the prosaic and wise quotables. ![]() OVERALL RATING: I really enjoyed this book so it gets four and a half stars.
