I always think something’s going to happen in these books and I’m always disappointed. So ominous, and nothing.

felt like the chosen perspective left a lot of gaps that the author then had to fill up (the characters would straight up tell klara all of their complicated feelings because she can't fully grasp them, etc.) 
didn't hit nearly as hard as never let me go
