This book was an absolute journey. The way you (the reader) start out not liking the characters but grow to love them as the book goes on mirroring the characters feelings about each other in the book was genius. There were so many little connections throughout this book that blew my mind and were so well planned out. The beginning wasn't my favorite as it was a bit confusing and repetitive in some areas but it all worked itself out by the time I got to the end so I wasn't too bothered by it. I'm glad I read this book when I did because it really validated some of my thoughts and fears and I feel like I've grown as a person by reading it.
