It is hard to truly capture the mind and image of an authentically strong female character. If I hadn’t known the writer was male, I wouldn’t have been able to tell.

His observations of relationships, both between boyfriend and girlfriend, husband and wife, mother and daughter, father and daughter, and sister to sister, are blunt and viewed through delightfully discriminating eyes. I appreciate that in a book. It’s incredibly character driven, so if you are into plot-driven novels this is not the best pick for you.

I highly recommend it though if you are looking for a quick and unique read.
