You definitely are going to have to look up the explanation or re-read the book to understand what's actually happening, it's amazing.

It's really sad once you figure out what's actually happening but I do think it's definitely an awakening of almost saying "Don't stay to much in your head" and to talk to others or it will drive you mad and cause sadness.

This was a bit of a mixed pot. The beginning and middle of the book are interesting and there’s some interesting philosophical points brought up in these sections. However, I found the third act of this book very difficult to get through, not particularly engaging and at times painfully jumpy. The ending brought everything back together in an interesting way though. I’d say it’s worth a read but maybe don’t add it to the top of your reading list.

I never wrote a full review for this book at the time because I didn’t know how. 

This book was so complex in a way that in full sincerity, changed the trajectory of my life. It covers mental health and the challenges of dealing with it in a way that I feel, no other book has covered in such a way before- not one that I’ve yet read. You find yourself on the edge of your seat just wondering, what the fuck is going on. But not in a negative way. 
Give a psychological thriller a deep and complex hidden meaning and this book is what you get from that. 

The writing style is beautiful, the story telling of the characters lives got you attached- just to reach the final fall at the end and realize how truly special unimportant seeming things are to us when the end finds us. That we are all truly a mosaic of everything good and bad that’s ever happened to us in our lives.

This book is captivating, complex and a little creepy. I loved it, it's a psychological thriller that keeps you guessing till the end. It was a bit hard to follow till the end, but that was just part of the fun. If you aren't into thrillers or confusing books that put a lot onto you as the reader to take from the book, you won't like it. I liked it cuz I'm a sad bitch who loves vague books so I can make up my own ending.

This might be the best depiction of suicidal thoughts I’ve ever seen.
