It may be that it was a very timely read but I thought that it was an absolutely gorgeous book and the way in which the story was told just added an extra layer of intrigue and interest.

5.0

I loved this. It's such a unique storytelling technique, and I had fun formulating my theories along the way. I loved the ending in spite of (or perhaps because of) the tears. More than any romantic relationship, though, I loved the friendships. We should all have people like this in our lives.
