Wow. I really did enjoy this book. There were moments that really stuck with me and that I genuinely connected with - the observations about men, whilst probably not that groundbreaking, it was the first time I'd actually seen them written down. For example, she wrote about how men always felt like they were destined for greatness and were shocked when things weren't going as perfectly for them. I love this. Because it is just correct and I am yet to meet a woman with this trait.

I also just really enjoyed the writing - I feel like she captured Casey's feelings of panic and hopelessness really well. I really felt that the feeling was ubiquitous throughout the novel.

And.. I am happy she ended up with Silas.
