I think the writing of this book was great but the pros stop there. The narrator Theo was just an absolutely awful human so following him through the story and learning about his past was just insufferable. The ending left me wondering why. And the romance (can you call it that?) seemed so out of left field and confusing. We did read this on audio so that may have impacted the experience but I dont recommend.
