"An absolutely stunning debut novel. It is for the lovelorn, and for those in love. It is just very well-written." --Between the Lines, Oneword, July 27, 2005

"When fate's got it in for you there's no limit to what you may have to put up with". (Georgette Heyer)- Fate and love are apparent parallels in Nick's world. A riveting read.
One of the best features about the novel is that everyone can relate to it, it is not just about love but about society as a whole and the preassures within it that cause some of the biggest social ills (homelessness, alcoholism, depression, etc.) It also led me to look at things in a different light, maybe things are not as they seem, maybe that homeless man that i pass everyday on my way to work isn't there because he is too lazy to get a job instead maybe he is there because he wants to be and because he chooses to be and maybe we as a society are in the wrong for condemning him for it and insisting that it is not 'right' for him to live on the streets.
The predominant theme of love within the book, is also an interesting one. Again it is something that everyone can relate to and it offers a range of different questions and insights into what love is to different people. For some people it is restricting, for others liberating both of these sides of it are shown in the novel and one of the main questions raised is that can love ever exist in its true form in modern society.
I fully reccomend this book whether you are looking for a bit of light reading or something more thought provoking as this novel certainly fits both of these categories!!
