The way this book is not just a book, it's a whole ass experience.
This book involves a fiction author writing the Ship of Theseus which is the story you're reading while at the same time reading the story of Jen and Eric going through the book and annotating in the margins trying to find out who was the real identity of SOT's author.
I read this for my March book club because a friend of ours was like this is one of the best books I've read and you know what, it is one of the books I've read as weeeell!
You feel INVESTED in the story no matter if it's S's story or Jen + Eric's and it got to the point that I also wanted to write in the margins and ask questions.
The inserts also made the story feel completely tangible and real.
In summary, read this book, is awesome!
