Hey, how is this so far? And, good morning!

I'm afraid the morning zoomed by me a bit — good morning! :) — but this is good so far. It's unfortunate that I end up reading it in broken pieces, catching a lunch break here, having just showered there; it doesn't do the novel justice. The pace feels less frantic than in Long Island Compromise; the angles are all around rounder; I encounter an observation à la Nathan Hill here and there, though the vibe behind it isn't the same. I suspect I'll always be interested in what she writes. A lot of things are turned upside down in this book, and not just on the cover; the way she goes at it, it's often a fun posture to adopt.
