I expected the title character to be the narrator, but that's not the case. It's true you do kind of read for a bit before figuring out who Veronica is, but I like that not really knowing. The power of this book kind of sneaks up on you...I especially could relate to the feeling of looking back on a kind of glamourous, wild life -- and knowing it was gone forever. I think the narrator is a lot more humane than she gives herself credit for. It's basicallly about where life takes you, the choices you make and how nothing lasts forever. Very insightful and beautifully written -- the inner workings of the narrator's mind are rendered so clearly. Will read more from this author!
