Well, that was unexpected! Oscar Boatwright was bobbing through life, not exactly happy but not entirely unhappy. His status quo was completely knocked out of whack when his mother unexpectedly dies mid flight coming home from Hawaii. Why were his parents in Hawaii in the first place? The answer to that question throws Oscar off even more, calling into question everything he thought he knew about his family and his own motivations.

This feeling of being off kilter continues through the entire novel, pushing Oscar to depths he never expected. I was happily impressed with this book, it was twisty and unexpected. There were a few points, the more "philosophical" areas, where I may have shortened things up, but these were there for a reason. All in all, a solid read!
