I loved Then We Came to the End by Joshua Ferris. The whole book is written in the plural first person. This is how we are introduced to the characters: We were fractious and overpaid.

This book talks about a 17 year boy who [...]

I seldom take books out from the library, I take out a lot of Audio books but not actual paper books. It always seems that the popular books are always not available or on a VERY long waiting list where you have to wait ages to get them. So when I saw The Almost Moon [...]
