Simultaneously a light read that deals with heavy subject matter. Well written characters with lots of ups and downs.

 I have to say, when I started reading this book, I couldn't quite get into it. I didn't immediately connect with it, and I kind of half-heartedly just picked it up every now and then. But at some point in the last third of the book, something clicked into place and completely turned my experience around. With having finished it and seeing the first part of the book from the perspective of the whole, I think this might be one of my favorite reads in a while. There's something deeply and movingly human about it, the way the story touches on the complexities of human nature and everyone's unique experience of love, all within a very clever narrative frame. A beautiful reading experience.

I spent half my time loving her and the other half hiding how much I loved her.

Such a perfectly written story. I felt like I was sucked into their universe, you know? I read this more than a year ago, but no doubt this book's still a masterpiece and will always be.
