This book was something I have listened to on and off all year. I had heard such good things but was tough to get into at times. The audiobook was definitely better for me than reading the book. The last 2 hours of the book were really profound and I enjoyed them. Hearing Vivek's family come to accept him and his ways was gratifying and heartwarming. 

A good read overall but one I just struggled to fully get into.
