My first read from this author has two of my favorite things from a novel: 1) a memorable, darkly comic style and 2) having absolutely no idea what was going to happen. In the opening pages, the main character buys a home in North Carolina only to see it destroyed by a hurricane a week and a half after she moves in. Unfortunately, things get even worse from there, in a series of events that give new meaning to the word 'exploitation'.
