Pleasantly surprised. When the beginning of the book tells you how it ends, it’s more about the journey. While it was somewhat predictable, it was still a good read.

At first I loved this book, then it was just meh, then the ending was just wow. The second to last page had one of the most prophetic passages about life that just really spoke to me. I want to reread this book because I think the fact that it took me 3 months to read because of school made it potentially not as exciting for me
