The story was beautiful and heartbreaking.

I loved the concept of it. It was generally a story about love, but through the different lives and several small stories within the whole, it was also a bit of a social commentary, touching on issues of gender, self-image and depression, among other things. It wasn't a perfect story, logic-wise - the whole Nathan and Poole subplot especially was a bit off at times - but I just decided to look past those details, as those things weren't the point of the book. If you read this book expecting explanations, therefore, you will be disappointed.

I did love it as a whole. The ending kind of broke my heart though.

EDIT: When the initial emotions from finishing this book settled, I felt more like a 3 star book than a 4 star one.
