here are some themes and thoughts (word vomit) about this book-

// showcases our discomfort with ambiguity and our need to identify
// our inability to truly know someone (past, present, future)
// morality- the disconnect between religious beliefs and actions
// what makes us human? (this book goes deep baby- someone write an essay on it)

Such a unique book! It feels like a book written in response to a creative writing prompt but that’s what I love about it. I wish the ending gave me more, but otherwise so well done.
