i really enjoyed reading this book. i was very hooked throughout and read it super quickly. i think the purpose definitely was met and it leaves readers with a lot of strong quotes and ideas to think about. i just was a bit disappointed one by the character of margo which ig was sort of the point of the ending and two just overall a bit underwhelmed by the ending which once again was sort of the point.

you expect this whole incredible amazing end and it’s just kind of like oh margo isn’t as amazing and her story her mystery or whatever isn’t as amazing as the simple imagination of it. so in that sense it was very effective and i would recommend the book, but i did feel a bit let down personally because i did want and expect this huge reveal. i also didn’t enjoy margo like at the end of the book she was so annoying and yet everyone kinda got over it. once again the point ik but still
