Miscommunication is overdone as a rule but it was done well here, this book felt authentic and beautiful. It could have been more fleshed out, sure, but also it's length didn't detract from the experience of reading this book. 

However, I do feel it was a little overhyped. It deserves the hype, but it's also a little pretentious (which I enjoyed, but some won't lol)

I don’t have any words for this novel.

“He was really laughing then. Marianne, he said, I’m not a religious person but I do sometimes think God made you for me.”

This was a good book. I usually don’t like books with no plot, but this one was okay. However, what is with the lack of quotation marks???????? It made it very hard to read sometimes. It’s also written partly in present tense which I don’t read a lot of so that was interesting. The story was interesting and sad and just depicts growing up. It was well written (apart from the quotation marks - i know it was a stylistic choice but i didn’t like it) and dived into some interesting concepts about what it means to be a normal person.
