this book made me think, which is usually something I avoid but in this case I loved it. Usually books that are slow paced bore me and it takes me forever to finish them. and even though this book was pretty short, it did take me a while to finish because it made me slow down to really absorb everything. It was really interesting to think about the intersection of religion and science and how they can be similar despite their differences. This book was really beautiful in a heartbreaking sort of way, and I would really recommend it to everyone.
