" A very straightforward novel: no tricks here, which I guess can be refreshing. I thought the woman character, Allison, was especially well developed. The narration gets inside the heads of the two protagonists (Allison and Will) a lot, which makes you understand how some of the stuff that looks sketchy from the outside is actually fine (I know that's vague, but I don't want to give anything away). That made me uneasy, knowing that if I were actually interacting with these characters and not hearing their internal monologues, I would think very differently of them, in particular about their mental health and ability to function autonomously. I found the book troubling in that sense: it raised some difficult questions about identifying mental illness and deciding to pursue involuntary commitment. "
