So boring, I couldn't finish it. Read 90 pages, about half.

This story began as something funny, giving a different view (a girl writting a book while she work in a reception office), then became a mysterious love story, after a creepy philosopher and at the end I really couldn't understand what I was reading... great idea but at last not so great story.

I absolutely loved this when I read it, which was maybe ten years ago. It's quirky and hilarious and because the protagonist is a receptionist, she has all sorts of people to characterize in her thoughts--and we of course are privy to her thoughts. More people ought to read this.
