5.0

I still love this book, on my 3rd or 4th reread. There is just something about this story that really resonates. Spending time focusing so much on ourselves can make it seem like everyone else is too, but most people are in their own world. But the distortion can consume our thoughts and make us do crazy things. Rafe is so naive, but watching him snap out of his stupor is so satisfying.
