Defies Categorization submitted by Sara W on June 28, 2011, 8:58am This book defies categorization. In tagging it, I marked it "funny" which it is, but not "ha-ha" funny, more witty, clever, understatedly funny.

And then there's "historical_fiction" which it is, but it's not about being in the past or explaining the gold rush, it's just where they are.

It's also kind of a "thriller" but I couldn't tag it with that because it's smarter, funnier and more touching than that label makes it seem.
