A unrealistic book in the way unrealistic books should not be.
If that makes sense. ”“Strange.”

“Where do all the lonely people come from? Coupland has an answer to the question from the Beatles song: from regular North Vancouver families. Liz Dunn knows what it's like to be lonely all the time. She is short and fat and has never had friends. Her life changes, however, when she gets a phone call from the hospital. Her name was the emergency contact on a young man's medic alert bracelet -- a man whose name she had never heard before. A sweet and funny story about finding one's place in the world.”

Reading this book, I was touched once again by Coupland's ability to weave a believable character, to the point where I began to feel the same depths of loneliness as the main character. ”
