I've read another book by this author, but this one is my favorite by far. It's confusing and fun, funny and emotional, and has such a satisfying conclusion. I laughed out loud so many times. I had a fabulous time with this one. 

You're also dropped into certain scenes knowing nothing, or even knowing who is in them, and you're not supposed to. I should have bookmarked these to come back to, once I knew what was going on in them. I think it'll be a great reread!

 this author shared so much about human experiences and what it feels like to hope and love. despite all the twists and turns that felt like driving in a never-ending tunnel, it was incredibly reassuring getting to just experience this ride knowing there was still more to come. 

the chemistry between all the characters was phenomenal, yes, but the level of distinction with each and every one of them will always blow me away. you see bits and pieces of their backstories and then come to see even more get revealed as time goes on because that's how every story goes--you don't know the full extent of what it entails unless you're willing to read through to the end. and one of my favorite messages that i took away from this one was that there's every level of interpretation you can take from it, and it's those interpretations that prove how much this story evolves with each reader. 

i've recently been getting into the bare bones of physics and of course i want to go deeper, so i'm also grateful towards the author for indulging me at this perfect time of picking up this story by balancing physics and the humanities so well. when you handle the laws of physics and all the swirling questions that physicists spend the rest of their lives chasing after, and then tie it into this paranormal fantasy that has so much of the supernatural and yet stakes morality to be at the center--there's just so many new ideas to be left with by the end. 

i had one of the most memorable experiences reading this story, and i absolutely loved all the characters and getting to see them from the beginning to the end. 

 i love the title and love the cover, everything that occurred in this novel was marvelous and just as i wear my heart on my sleeve everywhere i go, i'll always love knowing that i'll have these characters be with me as well.
