Very exciting debut, writing on the fantastic premise if you were to be in love (bordering on obsession) with your therapist. The dialogue between our protagonist and the therapist are must reads, and there are some charming tertiary characters who make excellent conversational foils as well. A fair number of scenes take place in a vet clinic as our protagonist works there (as did the author at one point, I believe) and I find those scenes less effective but still worthwhile.
