American Elsewhere was a definite page-turner and I liked it -- definitely liked the main character -- but I think I slowly liked it less as the mystery unfolded and it turned into some kind of weird "mommy issues" story.
Least favorite scene: when all the normal humans in town commit suicide at once. Couldn't even one person handle the weird!? Obviously not, but come on, that was kind of sad and gratuitous.
Awesome and funny: when Mona is writing on the chalkboard to the physicist, and her vocabulary is completely shaped by Twitter feeds, and it's a bit of a surprise but then makes sense and fits perfectly with her character.
