Wow. Sadly the interesting narrative techniques can’t counterbalance how tired I am of reading this story. Everybody is so crazy, everybody has problems, and the men are some of the most brainless creatures I’ve ever run across in literature.

I hate to admit it - but it's growing on me. The 15 distinct perspectives are undeniably difficult to work through, but it reminds me of a TV show where the viewer is suddenly immersed in a character's reality. Some mental deduction is expected.
The depiction of grief is deeply touching. It strips back the veil of rationality and gets at the complicated and raw ways we process emotion.
