For all of her life, it’s been just the two of them and questions regarding her father remain unanswered. At this point, there’s no rhyme or reason to doubt that your book is good enough to be published, and yet, this is inevitably what you start doing: doubting yourself. Really without certain elements of the book (okay without a lot of elements of the book) this could have been rewritten as a standalone fiction book. After picking this book up a Her work has appeared in Hobart, Allegory Ridge, the Stonecoast Review, The Dark City, The Satirist, and others.
Like Bright Young Things, it has an ensemble cast of characters and a third-person omniscient narrator; but like PopCo and Thomas's subsequent books, it's packed with clever ideas, pop-culture references and sparkling dialogue. I struggled with giving this book a one-star rating, but decided on two because I liked the premise, and I was enjoying the book for until about the 30% mark.

There are sprinklings of mathematical theories and theology in the book which only add the experience. Her books have been translated into over thirty languages and have sold over two million copies worldwide. Any author who must literally tell readers that one or more of the characters was "in a box" must certainly have missed the literature classes on showing rather than telling.
