reflective sad fast-paced
Loved this book and it was a super fast read. Low key a spoiler, but the way the character is visually impaired but he is the only one who SEES the moral truths of the world around him. And then when he has the eye surgery and sees the beauty in the world with its own value. LOVE THAT. To me, this book kind of goes against those people who say that nothing really matters and there is no objective morality but… maybe I’m wrong but that was my takeaway…. Also the last paragraph, damnnnnn. I’m also probably never going to reread this book because it was so upsetting
