Wow. This was a bit of a headrush of a work, and no mistake. April's at once delightfully typical of a rather vague yet strangely realistically defined young woman swept up in the trappings of today's society, yet also this rather cantankerous, hard-to-like ... brat? is that a fair word? She's got great parents, living her dream, a relationship but tonnes of insecurity and just bulls, headstrong, through things in the hopes they turn out to be OK. It's odd. very odd. And yet it works, wholeheartedly - you come away with an indescribably complicated melange that leaves you at once spellbound, enlightened and a little disappointed, all at he same time.

Unfortunately, the sort of novel I can't really quantify. I didn't want to put it down, though.
