I really enjoyed this book, savoring every page, every curious idea and every joke. It is as close as an outsider can get to the soul of Georgians and the 1990s and early 2000s in Georgia.

Lending it to a friend during the Tbilisi English Language Book Swap.

Controlled release. I borrowed this book from a friend at the Tbilisi Book Swap

A friend passed this to me at bookswap to return to the owner, and while I was holding onto it for her, I decided to read it and was totally blown away by the writing! This American author captured the voice of a young Georgian man so well. She really took the time to understand and heart and soul of this country, and you can feel it on every page. I found myself laughing out loud and reading certain humorous passages to my Georgian husband because they were so good. I really enjoyed this book!
