What a dreadful cover. Apart from Prep, Sittenfeld always has dreadful covers...

The protagonist is doing an English project on Alice Munro. How could I not love this?

Well, I couldn't help but check out something where the marketing team has the audacity to compare it to 2 of the past couple years' 3 biggest thrillers (Before I Go To Sleep & Defending Jacob) and being the 250th novel claiming to be this year's Gone Girl (the 3rd of the 3). Due to all that, I was expecting an utter trainwreck, but not too much to say so far other than that it's stylized to a fault

If the last third holds up, this is surely one of the books of the year. Whip smart and funny.

Every so often a book comes along where I read the first chapter and immediately just know it'll be something special. Still yet to be let down almost 1/4 through
