Do you blame Shakespeare for any of it?
I blame him for all of it.

Okay, i finished this book yesterday - by some miracle - but i still don't know how to feel about it. Honestly, i don't even know how many stars to rate it because i'm so confused but i still understand it - that i can't tell you.

Oliver was a very lovable and great protagonist, the kind of person who is somehow in the light, but still has a little bit of darkness in him. The others also grew very close to my heart, especially Philippa and Meredith.

The plot got off to a bit of a difficult start and the random shakespeare quotes were weird, but i liked the atmosphere, it was perfect autumn reading.
