I liked how the story worked within its own constraints, cool concept 

I don't believe Laverne and Zoe are not related, and who knows what other lies Laverne has been told

This was a strange little book. 

Journal entries from an old woman living in a town where the water and rain wipes away your memory.  We follow her through suicide thoughts, loneliness, happiness and determination.   

This book is very short so there isn’t much I can say that won’t give it away.   Is there action? No.  Do you have a mystery you solve during reading? No.  It’s just a look into someone’s mind, someone’s kind who keeps forgetting little things and trying so hard to hold on to her memory.
