I'm a big fan of BEE's writing style!! and this book is so well written, I stared at the wall for an hour after completing it, I can't even describe what I felt.. but it was very intense.

 

saw this review and it describes what I felt perfectly:

This book seems boring and shallow, and reading it gives me an anesthetized, hollow, detached feeling that I would not describe as entirely pleasant. And yet I cannot seem to stop, and whenever I have to, I become very anxious to return to it as quickly as I can. Its appeal is no less powerful for being difficult to pinpoint or explain.
