F*CK ME.
I never expected that ending. It left me shOOk.
I've always believed that this story would never end happily and there were no romance between Marcos and the female but bro...that ending is just—AHHHHHHHH

Honestly, when I first read the ending I didn't understand it at first so I read it again and that's when realization dawned upon me. I WOULD NEVER FORGET THE ENDING OF THIS BOOK. It left me off guard. I didn't expect him to do that.

But setting the shocking ending aside, I was so intrigued of Marcos' character. He was a puzzle I was trying to figure out. He was a paradox. And yeah, him doing that in the ending is so him.

I was originally planning on rating this 3.5 but that's before I read the final chapter. And when I did, I changed my mind and rated it 4 stars. Just 4 because it never really hooked me in the beginning and was bored when I first started it.
