Offbeat ... Su’s ambitions extend beyond a Chiller Theater rom-com, despite her goofy setup and Vi’s snarky running commentary ... To say more would spoil the dark fun of this book.
There are depths Su leaves unexplored beneath Vi’s sarcasm and deflection: Is Bob her love interest, or is he her child? What is the deeper meaning of this ambiguity? What keeps him from the kind of self-reflection that Frankenstein’s monster engages in from inception? Still, this is a sharp, funny and poignant look at what it means to connect with another being, and yourself.
