They were right, everyone was right, dammit this book is good. I was debating whether to 5 star it bc a decent part of the back half made me feel detached and depressed but like… thats what the characters were feeling too so it just made me feel, and i teared up a bit multiple times, and the ending was really good at tying shit up emotionally without a ‘happily ever after’ shit. The second person perspective labyuage after [major spoiler event] was incredibly well done and after it ended and went back to Sam and his thoughts on [same major spoiler event] it hit me like a truck, almost cried but unfortunately didnt bc i suck at crying. 

First book ive ever annotated, and i have just a bunch of kinda kitchy nuggets of wisdom from in here.

I love this book.

I’ve been super hard to impress, but I couldn’t have really asked for more from this book. The story was well-developed, in particular

the chapter where Marx dies was maybe the best thing I’ve read, ever. Profoundly beautiful and beautifully profound.

They lost me a bit at the end there, to be honest. It kinda petered out, but I still adore this book and will read it again (and likely catch details I missed the first time).

This was the most beautiful story of navigating relationships, loss, and life. Creatively told and flawlessly executed. I️ could read this again and again, and definitely will!
