Spoiler
Also, I would rather not hear about the sex scenes between the grandma and grandpa. And, why is the grandpa writing about his sex life to his son? Same with grandma, except to her grandson?Also, I just want to say that this could totally just be me and the style of books I like reading. This one makes you think hard and dissect the characters. I personally don’t care for books that make me think into things deeply. I’d much rather prefer to just read things that give me the information right in front of my face. That being said, if you like more confusing books, this is for you. The plot is actually pretty good and interesting. It’s a good story, just not executed in a way I prefer.
