Yes. It’s uniquely written and it took me a while to figure out what was going on, but it’s a great story.

Yes. I ordered it without seeing it first. When it came, I looked at the text layout. It’s modern, which put me off. I read it b/c of the reviews and b/c I owned it. I am so glad I did! I think back on it so often. It doesn’t take long to read so definitely give it a try.
