I thoroughly enjoyed this read and felt it was a perfect balance of suspense, soft/mild horror, historical fiction and romance. I really quickly fell into a comfort with the characters and found them relatable, as well as enjoying the plot unfolding alongside the person-driven stories. The ending ripped me up and had me wishing for many versions with alternate realities.

I cannot think of anyone I know who would like this book but I did like it. It was certainly thought provoking.

I knew it was going to end sad but I was surprised that it was still satisfying.

This'll probably be the only Stephen King novel I ever read, because it's not really my thing, but I'm glad to have read one. 

Update: will i be thinking about this book forever and ever?
