I’ve seen this book everywhere and avoided it because I couldn’t believe the hype. But when I caved and read a sample chapter online, I couldn’t put it down for the rest of the day. 

I have some qualms with the ending — it felt rushed and came out of nowhere. And I don’t feel fully satisfied with it. But this is a must read.
