I found myself halfway through the book, not really caring about the characters. There were also some weird quirks in the writing -- incomplete sentences, words used oddly, and so forth. It wouldn't have been enough to pull me out of the story on its own, but nothing else was pulling me in. I'm neither Filipino nor OCD, so I can't speak to the representation of those communities, but I had some concerns about the way things were described (lots of "weird" and "alien") and, at least up to the point where I stopped reading, the way Pablo's OCD was handled (there was a lot of mind-over-matter happening). I've read another book by Guerrero and really enjoyed it, so perhaps this debut effort was just not her strongest, but I can't say I recommend it. ( )
