I couldn’t put it down and finished it in a day and a half. In the beginning, I thought I knew where the story was heading, but I really didn’t at all. That’s the sign of a good author and a good book.
This is the kind of book that makes you remember why you love reading. Not just because the book itself is good, but because of the way the characters talk about books and literature.
I really enjoy books like this that flip back and forth between narrators and time periods, but it’s not always done well, and the author did an excellent job.
I also loved how many powerful lines were in the book. I was constantly highlighting.
