Elegant comes to mind for Kate Genet's writing style. Elegant, effortless, well-paced her writing is almost hypnotic ... but beneath the fine veneer she explores in-depth the nitty and sometimes all too gritty details of two unlikely characters who struggle with falling in love: Theresa a self-imprisoned hermit who loathes herself and doesn't want to touch love again and Scarcity whose name is program - scarce on love and everything, a fledgling young adult who is on the verge of coming of age. Both are not perfect and their situations are not perfect - but love ultimately can't wait for perfect only.BTW there is one perfect character in the book: Bruno - he deserves a whole book on his own.BTW graphic violence is an integral part of the story.
