Like with Kim's <i> Happiness Falls </i>, this book had a solid premise but the execution left me wanting more. I think in this case, Kim spent so much time explaining things (Mia's footnotes, the happiness quotient project), that the book felt bogged down. I wish there had been more time in the actual action and less on unnecessary detail. I get why things were included, I just don't think they added as much to the plot as they were intended to. I still appreciate Kim as a writer, since her ideas feel really unique, and I look forward to seeing what she comes up with next.
