review 1: This book was well written. It had its moments of dark humor. It was interesting. Yet, I still found myself giving it only 3 stars. It was just missing a great deal to me too. Like a proper ending. It left too many questions up in the air. It is one thing to have an open ending to a book but an entirely different thing to really not give any kind of indication what the heck I just read and what is going to happen next just seemed too jarring to me. At the end I found myself asking what was the purpose of me investing a few hours into this? I think it was definitely reaching for something it just didn't quite get there to me.
review 2: If you loved the film Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind then I highly recommend this book. Lovingly dark, and hilarious it p
... moreuts you behind the eyes and hearts of Helen & Will, two separate people being pulled through their own flaws & finding comfort in others. The scenery, the language, the style, I loved it all. It IS graphic and frankly more believable that way. These people are not sheltered, they are real. And they are fully aware & accept total responsibility for getting themselves there. It was like watching a really good friend go through heartache & you are excited for them to learn more about themselves and want to console them so badly. I loved every bit of it. less
