I really enjoyed it! For the most part it was a witty commentary on different writers, our main character being the one as well. She has troubled past and trouble to remember what happened to her prior the trip to prize ceremony in Sweden. There are mysteries following her culminating at the end with magical realism elements when we find out what happened to her. It was well written but had some of my pet peeves such as naming the song that was playing as the readers are supposed to know every music piece or worse, to open the search engine in the middle of reading. The ending was also a bit wierd but I'll forgive the author since I liked the majority of the book.
