This was such an interesting book and I started it about 3 different times before I got into it. Even though the writing style was hard for me to get into, I really ended up loving it and now I want to read more from Ali Smith. 

I honestly can't say that I fully understand the message of this story, but from the bits I gathered I do think that it conveys the importance of libraries and also the dangers of consumerism. I found the characters lovable and it really felt as if I was there alongside them figuring it out. 

I think overall I am still slightly unsure of what to think about this, but I do know that I really enjoyed my time with it. I hope to revisit this soon.
