30% in, I was convinced I'll rate this 1.5 stars. But what the heck?

Is this a groundbreaking read? No.
Will it mess you up? Yes.
Is it life changing? No.
Was it enjoyable? Yes.

Better to read this blindly. You wouldn't want to sread/watch spoilers about this one.

This book destroyed me. I loved it, hated it, couldn't put it down, couldn't bear to finish it. It tore me apart and put me back together, only to do it all again.
