The fact that I used to HATE this book and gave it 2 stars and now after rereading it after 2 years & then almost gave it 5 stars is crazy. I think the main reason why I used to hate this book was because I read it at the wrong time in my life and now that I can finally understand the characters and the decisions they’ve made better and now that I am in the right state reading this book made the reading experience so much better and enjoyable. And maybe because I read this now physically and annotated a lot, I noticed things I used to not notice in the past.
