Following the long-term aftermath of a high school massacre, the story is told in four parts, narrated by four different yet closely connected characters. For a relatively small volume, this book covers some big themes: love, death, God, family, identity. However, because Coupland writes in a very accessible, contemporary voice and there are moments of light relief; the book is never heavy going or pretentious and is an enjoyable read. I found it very moving and stimulating - food for both the heart and mind.
