Ali Smith is a master wordsmith, this book is so cleverly written, such a unique writing style, really fantastic. Be warned though there are some heavy topics throughout the book, but the author tackles them really well.

Uh oh, here's that pesky stream-of-consciousness style that I almost always dislike! The premise intrigued me but I can tell that I would read this book only while hating it at the same time. Not for me at all.
