Apartment 1986 by Lisa Papademetriou-

"Cassius," my grandmother repeats. "What an elegant name."
    "It's the greatest," Cassius says, and his black eyes sparkle and my grandmother laughs as if this is a joke and a part of me wonders whether I am missing something and I have to just add that it is kind of a little bit annoying to think that maybe my grandmother is getting a joke that I am not.

I am disappointed to say that this book was not half as good as I was hoping it would be. It had a lot of potential to be interesting but just could not follow through. Cassius' character is the only reason I finished reading it.
