I read this in one night and it truely seemed like I had been reading it for a while. The character(s) and circumstances were so well written that it felt like the book had lasted me a while and that I truely understood the character and situation to a full extent and was able to empathize and mourn with the character. This is a book I will absolutely be rereading and recommending, as the idea is such a deep one and really changed my perspective within the 100 pages. A 5/5 read for sure!

Incredibly thought provoking. Also this gave me an existential crisis,

Spoiler

him leaving Rachel was crushingly sad (I cried)

. Maybe it could have been longer and the characters more fleshed out but I'm not complaining or anything.
