Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I must admit I went into this story expecting something else and I think I just misunderstood the synopsis. I feel Nina McConigley has a unique writing style that at times was really captivating and fun. However the more I read the more I just felt bored and the less I wanted to pick it up. Thinking back it really did feel like a bunch of story stories from this character's life smashed together to make one bigger story and that just didn't work for me. The story felt all over the place and although I can see how it all ties up in the end I just ... didn't care? I did really like the little pop quiz sections that popped up. The upside is that this was a short story, the downside is that it felt like 300 pages. 

I'm really interested in reading McConigley's other book, Cowboys and East Indians, a short story collection.
