4.0

At first it is a little difficult to get into the book due to the writing style, it’s not typically YA, just very different and imagery focused. However once you have a grasp of that, the characters are fully realised and relatable (each in a different way, but Noah has to be the favourite). 

The changing of timelines/perspectives is engaging. The best way to describe this book is the fiction example of the invisible string theory. It will have you laughing, crying and believing in love and fate.
