'I was laughing without knowing what was funny. Everything was funny now. Or else everything was horribly sad. I couldn't remember which.'
it seemed like a very lighthearted book at first but as I got more into it I realised how wrong I was. I enjoyed the book but the ending didn't feel satisfying to me and I still have a lot of unanswered questions about the plot. the epilogue only added to the questions.
"What are we going to do?" I said.
"I guess we're going to sit here and wait for this night to end. Every night has to end eventually."

Once I found out that this book was based off the Evelyn Waugh work, Brideshead Revisited, something about it; well, clicked. That said, if you haven’t read the book, watched the mini-series or seen the film, you’ll still be good to go.
