As soon as I finished the last sentence, all I wanted to do was start again from the beginning.
Such a deeply emotional, clever and captivating book! As someone who at a first, superficial glance has little in common with the characters, I still found it so easy to relate to the profoundly human topics explored here and have to admit I learned a lot about myself. Would recommend to anyone - even though I was first stirred away from this by a friend who didn't like it.
