I finished this in a couple of hours, it was excellent. The book is formed by letters between two friends, a newlywed who heads to Kenya to serve in the Peace Corps and her college roommate/best friend who is working in NYC. While Kate navigates a new world filled with giant bugs, exorcisms and strangely chunky water, Hillary deals with boyfriends, work and life in general.
