The Impossible Vastness of Us by Samantha Young
4.0
4.5 stars! I loved it but I also felt something missing somewhere towards the end. I guess if there was one more thing I wanted it would be to experience more of India, Finn and Eloise's journey. It was such a well-written wonderful story, that to be honest, surprised me in many ways. I never expected to be sitting up past 2am reading in the dark because I couldn't wait to find out how things would turn out.
The characters of this book were hard to love at first but by the end, I just wanted to spend more time with them all. Well, with the exception of one, haha. Every character had depth, and felt three-dimensional and realistic. The problems they encountered were not just your everyday typical teen problems which made the book even more heartwrenching at times. I loved how over time most of the characters developed into better versions of themselves.
Without spoiling anything, I was saddened by the turn of events, but not surprised. I guess I was hoping there would suddenly be an alternative solution, but in the end, it made sense to go the way it did. I felt peace with that for the most part.
I went into this book with no idea what to expect and am so happy I picked it up. It was definitely an especially unique story, one that kept me engrossed from the beginning right through to the last page.
I truly hope India, Finn, and Eloise's journeys continue to be just as wholesome and fulfilling even off the page.
