review 1: The book's blurb and title was a bit deceptive since I expected a much different type of book than what unfolded. This is a rare case where it turned out for the better(sorry for being so vague but any more would spill the beans on the plot!). Suffice to say that you will never get bored, especially due to that inoncuous twist during the end which upturns many assumptions built along the way. What lost the book a star was the focus on the male narrator and the overtone of lesbianism, both of whom were peripheral to the plot anyways
