Book Description:
Does Alice really hate her sister, or is that love? Was she really enrolled in grad school, or was that an elaborate hoax? Is this really a hijacking, or is it merely the effect of living backwards?

Following her acclaimed debut, The Mineral Palace, Heidi Julavits presents a quirky, compelling new novel about two sisters, a bizarre event, and the elusive nature of truth.

I really wanted to love this book. The writing is SO well done, but the story is just meh. So, I'm going halfsies on my star rating.

I had a hard time following what was going on here, I felt like the writing was more difficult than it needed to be and the story line seemed to go on forever... I am still thinking about how and why some of the things in the book actually happened!!

Overall, a tough book but an interesting topic!
