did not think i’d be rating this so high but i also didn’t think i’d read it in less than 24 hours . absolutely loved christopher and he was so understandable and (dare i say) relatable . i love love loved the long unending prose where the sentences just kept going w only “ands” to break up the clauses , no punctuation or anything . it truly felt like a non stop thought process , and i loved the maths and science threaded through the book , as well as the use of different typography depending on the scene . not so much a murder mystery as just an enjoyable book . loved it :)
