I haven't read it yet, but I'll probably do so in July.

Thoughts?

I have read it and must say that though it was a very interesting concept it didn't work for me and I gave it only 1 1/2 stars. Sorry Mz. Smith. I do know that others raved about it.

>2 rainpebble: I'm in the opposite camp, Belva. I really enjoyed it. But it is quite unique and probably not for everyone.

I haven't read it yet, but I loved The Accidental, and this one sounds like a book I'll like too. It's bumped up my wishlist.

I really disliked There but for the, but if I see a few positive reviews around here, I might give this new book a try.

I hope to read *Both* in July too. I've read only Hotel World, and that one blew me away. This Smith and J. Egan and S. Thomas are my current go-to women for experimental or at least risky writing.
