Where do I even start?!! I finished this book several hours ago and I am still feeling all the emotions. Emily Habeck, who are you?? I decided this book was just so quirky that I wanted to read it, but then I picked it up and thought about the summary and thought, but do I really want to read this? It just sounds so weird. Don't get me wrong, it is weird, but for me it worked in the most beautiful, unfathomable way. Whatever the goal of this crazy, emotional novel is, I am surprisingly the perfect reader. I felt everything.

I can't help but think that there are so many ways this can be interpreted, but for me it was the made it made me feel that I am still in shock over. A great book gives me feelings--even though I know it's just a book. On top of that, I felt all the feels--deeply, heart-wrenchingly--from a story that is in no way real. I cannot say that everyone who reads this will feel like I did. It may depend on what you've experienced in your life, so I hesitate to tell others to read it. I think I also feel very protective of this precious book. I'm glad it has a really good rating so I know many others have felt how special this book is too.
