I have a lot of thoughts that I don't think I can properly articulate. Basically I like the themes and conclusion of All the Lovers in the Night but have issues with some of the pacing and the tediousness of some sections of the book. Overall it might be a little too nihilistic for my current mood. Definitely good for anyone in the mood for a sad girl book.
