I just literally devoured the book in a few hours and even after a particularly exhausting day at work this book just kept me hooked completely with its fast-paced writing, a intriguing plot twist, and the very beautifully intermingled timeline stories.
I thought this book would be weird to read as the hype around it was quite a lot and it was a book for the 7th grade curriculum in my school which made me hesitate as I had only seen the kids pour their worries over the assignments and never just their love for the book.
Well, I was definitely surprised when none of these concerns came to my mind until now. The story of Stanley and Zero was so stupidly nice that it made me smile a lot of times and I absolutely adored the plot-lies 100%!!!!
I mean wow, the interconnecting stories were just too precious in this fast-paced yet beautifully written book. Everyone go read it!
