Miscommunication is overdone as a rule but it was done well here, this book felt authentic and beautiful. It could have been more fleshed out, sure, but also it's length didn't detract from the experience of reading this book.
However, I do feel it was a little overhyped. It deserves the hype, but it's also a little pretentious (which I enjoyed, but some won't lol)
