It was a little longer than I anticipated, and took me a LOT longer to read than I thought it would. The ending was heartbreaking, I can't believe everything that happened. But overall, this book was incredible. I didn't understand most of it, but it was so much fun to read. Will definitely be rereading in the future so I can get a better sense of it.

One of the most profoundly beautiful and thought-provoking books I have ever read. The emotions felt during this read were unreal, and the storytelling and language used made it even better. I love this book with my entire heart.
