dark mysterious sad

5.0

Reading the excerpt, I thought it would be strange like Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, but it wasn’t what I expected at all. Cassandra is reborn in the body of a young Cuban boy, and his entire life is lived all in one moment, him being able to see his own future and the future of everyone around him. LOVED this. I’ll add it to a syllabus of mine eventually. Surrealist and sad and full.

I've never read a book so sad that is written this way. It's like, I'm dead inside just like the mc of this book. There's so much thought I have about this book but I can't do it justice. So please just read this book.
