Did not love this book. The lives of a wealthy woman "giving
back" by teaching in a high school, a teen addicted to
video games, & a guy who makes a living as a chalk artist/
bartender/member of a theatre troop intersect in expected & unexpected ways. I thought the writing was just ok (surprising since the author had previously been nominated for the National Book Award) & the story of the unremarkable. Friends in my book club liked it though.
