It was a little longer than I anticipated, and took me a LOT longer to read than I thought it would. The ending was heartbreaking, I can't believe everything that happened. But overall, this book was incredible. I didn't understand most of it, but it was so much fun to read. Will definitely be rereading in the future so I can get a better sense of it.
