Really disappointing. The whole grief is sad actually ending of the book was not at all as intelligent and meaningful as the author thinks it was. And also didn’t like to see the R word in a book at all.

There were a few engaging moments in this book, namely the later scenes with Paloma and Renee, and Renee and Prof Ozu, but it’s mostly just pretentious. Also, this was written in 2006 but the r- word slur was used multiple times, and it contained very infantilizing and degrading language about someone with Down Syndrome.
