So lovely. Made me cry. 

It took me a few passages to get into the fragmented stream-of-consciousness sentence structure. I had to re-read a few passages after missing details because of it, but the style made sense for the characters.

I wish I could give this book 100 stars. Somehow 5 doesn’t seem enough.

Really disliked the staccato, stream of consciousness writing style in Peter’s chapters. They had an almost Yoda-like sentence structure that was hard to connect to.
