4.5

This book left me feeling like I have a totally renewed outlook on the world. I think it helped that I'd seen the series first as it allowed me to focus on living the story through the characters' mindsets and narratives. 10/10 would recommend, great book on the human experience and types of flaws that are inevitable in people and relationships.
