...parts in between." Sittenfeld is unusually willing to let her characters come off as less than charming from time to time ("You make yourself miserable, and you make the people around you miserable, too," Hannah's sister spits at her during a canoe trip, and she's not totally wrong).

The GPS receiver sometimes had a hard time, mostly because of the "canyon effect," satellite signals being blocked by tall buildings.
