This book was an experience. It’s got everything - despair, anger, anguish, but also schemes, unyielding fate, yearning and satisfying revenge. That’s not all though, and I feel like because the story was written over the span of two years, published chapter by chapter, it was able to expand and cover many themes. The writing is fast paced and easy to follow, and is quite humorous at times. No notes, straight to the five star shelf you go.
