Incredibly moving book. I spent the first half incredibly angry at the end of each chapter,then the second half incredibly emotional. It's been a while that I've connected so much with the characters and their story.

Stabs you in the heart but it’s done so well. The characters and the plot are so incredible, even when you’re frustrated and sad you can’t help but be uplifted by the genius of the characters. Don’t even get me started on the dog.

emotional mysterious slow-paced

3.0

The beginning was SO SLOW. Then it got really good. Ending was rushed. Parts of it were really funny, and parts were heart-warming, but I felt like I wasn't the target audience for this book, so reading it sometimes felt weird to me - like the book should have really touched something in me, but didn't.

Ultimately, not a book for me, but well-crafted and worth the read for someone else with different hopes, dreams, goals, and life experience. And also probably taste in books.
