Loved Tova and Marcellus. I personally would have liked the ending to be more detailed, it felt a little rushed after spending so much time building up the characters and plot. But after the reveal, it seemed like everything else was just cut off - especially the items about Cameron’s Mom and her potentially being the person talked down from the cliff and Cameron’s relationship with Avery. Also I would have loved to see how Tova and Ethan’s relationship potentially developed after the novel. Overall loved the general plot! (But feeling meh about most of Cameron’s chapters)
