Really cool idea. It's about a guy quitting smoking who writes every time he feels like smoking. I actually thought this was non fiction until I noticed the main character and the author didn't have the same name. ;)
This book was a complete surprise, I needed an X book so I asked the library for suggestions and this looked interesting. Turns out I really enjoyed it!
A few complaints about it though. The booked jumped around in time a lot. Maybe too much. I sometimes had trouble keeping the time line straight. I also found the main characters obsession with Lucy irritating. Maybe that was the point though.
It was interesting reading this as a non-smoker, I would be curious to see what a smoker thought of it.
