I loved the first two halves. I actually found mori’s character to be endearing. Some say he is arrogant. I don’t see this. I see him as someone with a complex brain who has learned to adapt to it. Sometimes characters that seem arrogant are functioning on a different wavelength than you and those around them. For me, I related to this with autism. 
Grace was a little confusing and sadly, the fall of the book. I believe if she had more development the ending would have been more impactful, making it closer to 5 stars.
