Although this was a well-written book and beautiful story, somehow it just didn’t do it for me. It took me forever to get through it even though I didn’t necessarily dislike the story… I will say, this book would make an excellent movie. I’m imagining Nicholas Britell composing the music with sweeping scenes of Northwestern’s campus and the Pilsen neighborhood. Someone fund this!!!
