challenging emotional funny reflective sad medium-paced

• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? Yes

4.0

This is really two books. Part one and part two are only vaguely related in the sense that part one is life "in the portal" of social media and part 2 is what happens when the full catastrophe--the beauty, grief, unfathomable depths--of life comes to pull you out of the portal to live in true community with the people you love who are facing the impossible. 

So much of this felt like genius. Although I was losing my way towards the end of part one. I was gripped again on part 2 where the hard realness of the world asserts itself again.
