This book was written predominantly from the omniscient perspective which was a fascinating approach. I enjoyed being the fly on the wall for so much of this journey. On the downside, I had a hard relating to some of the characters, but that’s probably on me. I think this would make a great book club read because there are so many discussion points. I’d recommend it to a friend.
