This is one of the books (plays) where you are laughing at the foibles of everyday, although rather privileged, people living everyday, although rather privileged, lives. Then the story turns rather mysterious and sinister, only to end up with a 'what-just-happened' moment. Altogether, the book/play was jarring and thought-provoking.
