Customer Reviews

An unexpected gem

The story is deceptively short and simple but makes some very valid points on modern marriage, family and corporate culture.

Simple, wholesome and meaningful.

I love how this book makes you look inward as you read more. A great look at society and our expectations and how we treat others base on those values we put on ourselves.

Character driven story with an open/ambiguous ending.

The first half of the book was very interesting and insightful. Once a certain character became prevalent in the plot, the book was much less enjoyable.
