Jade's life has been unraveling since her father died a decade ago. A rare illness causes her to drop out of medical school track. A breakup with a shitty self-help guru leaves Jade effectively homeless. And then, Jade sees her father through the window of a restaurant on her annual pilgrimage to New York City to remember him. Could her father be alive?

Cardboard-thin caricatures for the characters in this story, and card-board thin machinations comprise the plot, and the last third of the book is exposition on what really happened and that's done in a flat and uncreative fashion.
