And to think I nearly DNFed. I finished this book last night and I have not been able to stop thinking about it. Ambitious, devastating, beautiful and also hopeful in its own way. I don't always love an ambiguous ending but this was so masterfully executed, it had me questioning everything (while also sobbing because WHAT DO YOU MEAN). I'm seldom a rereader but I seriously considered just picking this back up and starting over again from the beginning, and I may do it yet! Incredibe, incredible read.
