This is the second of Tom Perrotta's books that I've read, the first being The Leftovers, and my experiences with them both were very similar. This is a really good book and I read it quickly. His characters are well developed and the story is great. I got drawn into the story, waiting, wondering what was going to happen and then the book ends. There isn't any closure. On one hand I find that frustrating because I want to know what happens to the characters and I want resolution to their issues. On the other hand, it makes the characters feel even more real, obviously their stories aren't over. I'd recommend this book if you've liked Perrotta's other novels or if you're simply interested in a good story but not if you want a story with a solid ending.
