be a possible rapist?? and no one in this book took the rape accusations seriously? or cared that their friend was murdered because they were burdened by her being mentally unstable??literally no resolution was reached and so many things were just thrown at the wall and never discussed again

Colourless set my standards for books so much higher! i only recently got into reading and before reading it, i had read 2-3 books trying to get into reading but nothing really drew me in. i just thought was one of those people that couldn’t get into reading. But this changed everything. This book kept me on my toes. Every time i turned a page i didn’t want to stop because of how engaging it was. I’m a pretty slow reader so the fact i got through this book in 2 weeks says something.

- I really like how gripping this was despite when you think about nothing really happens
- The character development is so subtle from how he starts eating well and no longer feeling scuicudal
- I really wanted to know what was up with sara
- I also probably really liked this book because I am a lot alike to the main dude
- But what happens to Haida? And what was up with that homoerotic tension twords the end of their friendship?????
