In a word, irritating. Kim was basically a boppy child throughout the whole book (Bitchy Barista? Was that supposed to be endearing? Because it was not) and only has one conversation with Eleanor the entire book that touches on any real topic. I also wanted to punch Eleanor in the face for berating children and battered women with what their careers should be. There was no character growth for either of them.

I like the vignette style of story-telling, but Roesler handles it poorly. There was also no plot, and his awkward self-referential humor made me want to throw my kindle across several rooms.
