Ok, here goes. Original and memorable, yes. But sometimes the book felt forced, particularly in the second half, and also in the many passages in which it seemed as if Groff was trying to throw in a heap of varied literature and mythological references she learned in college. (I'm making that up - I don't know where she encountered them. But the rampant references often came across, to me at least, as a technique a college student would include to get more points on a paper, if that makes sense, like "Look what I know!") So I wanted to like the book more than I actually did.
