I feel like this is one of those books where some people are going to think it's slow and dull and have a hard time connecting, while others are going to understand the underlying theme of loneliness and the struggle of trying to fit in, and the pain or the joy you experience when you find someone who helps you feel like you matter. There is such a long line of loneliness in this novel and I think some people may not understand it or may shy away from it but those who have maybe experienced even a fraction of it, may really enjoy itcolor
