Love the way she writes mysteries maybe it makes me sound stupid but i love when things wrap up in a way you’d never guess , not every loose end is tied but the ones that are you’d never expect :) Very fun book and made me think too much about the passage of time so I’m sad now :)

"Count it as the universe's cruelest irony that the ghosts, who alone could piece a whole story together, are uniquely unable to tell it."
I loved this book from the beginning -- I'm enamored with Makkai's style, and the structure was well chosen and well implemented. This will leave me lingering on impermanence and lost contexts for a while to come.
