This is a weird one, and I'm not quite sure what to think of it? I think I like it. But I'm not entirely sure I get the whole message. Some of it, sure. About the importance of being able to feel grief and feel unhappy and how those are parts of the human experience that shouldn't be erased, but I also feel like there was more I was supposed to take away from it...

What did I just read? This story had so much going on with a really amazing concept and idea and while I thought the writing to be a little not-so-well paced, i.e. a six year time jump that isn't mentioned until several chapters later, and I found the ending to be a bit lackluster imo, the world in this novel is just astounding. With that in mind, it would be criminal to give this book less than four stars and something I'd recommend to anyone who likes really weird and interesting worlds.
