The book shows that Palmer isn't entirely an awful writer, there are glimmers of interesting topics, moments of humor and unbelievably nerdy insight. Unfortunately that only makes up about 80 pages of the book, the rest of it is some of the most mind-numbingly boring suburbanite minutiae you can imagine. I was reading this for my book club and on multiple occasions in the first two hundred pages I just wanted to put the book down. The characters are painfully dull, their dialogue and inner monologues are enough to make even the most hackneyed rom-com writer cringe in horror.
