OH. MY. GOD.
There aren't words to quantify my reaction to that twist. My jaw physically dropped.
This book? A masterpiece. I can't wait to reread it knowing what I know now because it was there the whole time under my nose. I'll admit, I had to reread the twist a couple times before it clicked. It didn't make sense--and then it did. Few books I've read have earned more of a 5 star rating than this one has. The writing is masterful in every way, the work of Lockhart is truly brilliant.
