PopSugar Challenge 2015: A book by an author you've never read before (x)
This book took a lot of patience to read, but it was SO worth it. And I should clarify that patience does not necessarily mean it was a tedious read. In fact, the author has a great command of language, and wittiness and humor just jump from the page.
The text itself is kind of hard to summarize, so I’ll just say that the novel overflows with stories, and the different threads of plots intertwine with one another – it’s all very meta, with the fictional characters rebelling against their creator.
