What a winding journey. At no point was I bored by the story, but this book did not have to be so long. That's my main issue with it. Beyond that, it was heartbreaking and intriguing. I absolutely loved Theo's relationship with art and how to mirrored his world and life experiences. The characters were unforgettable.
