I really should not have read this when i did i cried a lot... What would you do if your suicidal girlfriend came back to life so she could banter with you for a couple more days? I'm fascinated by the alternate storyline as well and the parallel between 'Jack' the boarder and 'jack' lily's new bf. I would say this book is in the genre 'Death'.

I think this just wasn't for me. I got about halfway through before deciding not to continue with it. The road trip parts and the letters in the past were the biggest hindrance to me getting through it. The writing is beautiful though. The parts I liked, I had a lot of underlines and highlights. But after having it for more than 6 weeks from the library, reading it felt like a chore and I was just bored. Also, I guess if you're dealing with suicidal ideation, maybe stay away from this one. I'll rate it 2 stars.

Morality is not always *good* or *bad* when it comes to how we related to one another in our past. How we could relate to one another once again. Social customs are furniture around real living flumes of connections and signals.
Perhaps feeling deadened by life and simultaneously longing for the real deadness when existence gets tough, or just inconvenient, isn’t so abnormal - people write about it all the time !
One last thing : anyone that has held the hand of the dying can attest to a rotting that is simply bodily, not at all spiritual. It’s only the living that rot when we can’t find the jovial, aggressive parts of ourselves any longer.

This book was written with a flourish and engaging vocabulary but no real character growth or linear storyline. Hard to follow at times and not much substance.
