5.0

wholly immersive — funny and sad and hopeful and bleak all at once. loved maria, loved james, loved their interactions together. the narration is so singularly confident and layered, spiraling deeper into itself with every word. not to be that dude but i felt as wrapped up in each of their heads as i did at age 12 reading holden caulfield for the first time; the voices are just so lightning-strike intimate and real and, like, day-in-the-life mundane. also excellent ending, i legit gasped when i looked to the next page and realized it was over. what a pleasure! what a blessing!
