Self-Portrait with Nothing

This is a book that I will be thinking about for a while. It starts out pretty slowly as a kind of family drama about a woman who was abandoned as an infant trying to deal with the demands of her (in)famous biological mother, who has gone missing, and then becomes a sort of sci-fi thriller.

I loved the characters (every side character is memorable), the relationships and the ending.

My only real complaint is that I wish the book had been a bit more clear on the job that Pepper was doing and who those people were - that felt kind of glossed over. Otherwise, phenomenal.
