I started out reading this book so slowly… as in, barely getting in 10 pages a day (for 3 days across 2 weeks). After consulting a local reading facebook group, strangers on the internet convinced me to tough it out and read it fully. 

I am so glad I did. Thank you, kind strangers. 

Trust me when I say this book starts quite slowly but picks up VERY quickly. As soon as I reached a certain point in the plot, I literally could not put it down. 

The characters are lovable, and while I don’t agree with All of them, I see where their decisions come from. As a science nerd, I was also fascinated by the lengthy explanations throughout the book (even if I didn’t understand them 100%). 

I absolutely love this book. I’m glad I’m ending the year with it.
