This was such a fun, quirky read. The characters were so distinct, and I loved following their stories and reading their banter. The premise itself is so offbeat that it’s really unlike any other book I’ve read before. Being from the 70s, it’s a mix of old-fashioned charm and some jokes and lines that don’t age well, but generally I loved the tone. I sort of wish Sabra had reached a similar conclusion to Wally about the course her life was taking, but I also see the merits of showing her in opposition to him, how she can be satisfied moving through the world like she does. Overall a really enjoyable, light read that I’d recommend for summer.
