How can this book be so heartbreaking and hopeful at the same time?? 

The first line had me instantly hooked. It definitely slowed from there and it took me a while to really get into the flow of the story. It can be slow and confusing but the end is absolutely worthwhile. This is a book I will definitely continue to think about.

This was an odd one.

Couldn't get into this one, no matter how much I tried.

As much I tried, I never really became invested in any of the characters’ stories. I loved the premise, but not the execution.
