I really loved this book. It was elegantly crafted, realistic and lyrics. Egan's ability to craft likable yet flawed characters is refreshing. What I mean is, this is something author's strive to do, but I never felt at all that she was striving for this, it came quite naturally. The only problem I had with this book was the back cover's description of it. I wish that it had been different/I hadn't read it so when I began the novel, I wouldn't have been so focused on Bennie and Sasha's characters. Though I see, having finished the book, that they are, in a sense, the focus, I still don't see the need to point this out as the goal of the book to a reader at that point.

It pulsates through my veins. I can't even describe it just yet. Too soon. It was phenomenal.

This book shows how everything may not be what it seems. Or turn out the way we think. Or that we’re all way more connected than we think. Or how small choices have big impacts. Or that time may or may not heal. And it is awesome.

I really liked how the story drifted to different times and subjects depending on who was telling it. I thought the last chapter could have been cut as it tried to tie up too many loose ends that didn't need tying up. And the chapter that was told completely with power point slides was actually good (although I think she could have cut a few slides at the end).
