Mosquitoland was not a book I was planning on reading. Really, the only reason I picked it up was because everyone and their mother seemed to be loving it and rating it so high. While enjoyable and entertaining, it unfortunately didn't blow me away like everyone else. 
 Mim Malone is traveling from Mississippi to Cleveland to get back to her sick mother. The events along the way are anything but ordinary. But it makes sense, for Mim too, is anything but ordinary. There are high highs and very low lows. This book is equal parts weird, funny and sad, and had an unpredictability about it that kept me turning the pages. Mim's voice was unique and honest and interesting and was definitely the most standout part of the book. 
 David Arnold's writing is pretty fantastic and gave the whole book a a whimsical, magical feeling. This book could easily be turned into an indie movie, as I often got those types of vibes as I was reading. It's super quotable and I even highlighted some quotes which is something I don't usually do. 
 While entertaining, I didn't fall in love with it like I had hoped I would. I didn't get very emotional and it won't leave any lingering impressions for me. But if you're looking for a book with a unique voice and beautiful writing, this is one you should definitely check out.
