Very fun read. It's definitely incredibly slow paced, which can understandably turn off an audience that is typically attracted to aspects of the story present in the synopsis and cover. But I personally enjoy taking a little stroll through someone's mind, and I think if the pace were faster it would no longer fit the main character's personality or the themes of the book.

A wonderfully layered story.
