A Bit Melancholy, And a Little Confusing?

So reading the summary, I must admit I wasn't quite sure what to think about this book. There was no actual plot described, and the first chapter is not all that clear either. From the actual chapters, it appears that there is some surrealism and realism blended together, and it reminded me of a book I read a couple years ago named "So Shelly," which was so strange that I still remember it more than seven years after finishing it.

The cover is sufficiently pretty, and does further evoke the melancholy tone that the book is (apparently?) striving for.
