I have so many things to say. The choice to make all of his own lines of dialogue a part of his thoughts to portray that he was an unreliable narrator, was a great choice. Her perspective was the best part of this book, and she is way too much like me. The ending was awful, yet completely justified. Overall a good read, but the writing style wasn't decadent enough for me to give this book more than 4 stars.
