Of the 32 books I have read ao far this year, this is the best of them. I implore anyone and everyone to read it and feel something, anything in a time when it's so easy to paralyze and numb yourself.

This just didn't work for me. While I didn't think it was terrible, I didn't think it was great. I felt the characters and story lacked depth. The plot was predictable and seemed like it was trying to meet a checklist of tropes. There was very little growth or development in the characters. I did really enjoy the narrator who did the audiobook, but that was about all I liked.
