Stop reading reviews. Read the book. Seriously, any review (hell, even the blurb) is spoilers that will detract from the experience. You need to go in completely blind.

Not much happens in the book. There is never a big reveal, or a complete explanation, or really a plot, or anything.
It was still the best read I've had all year and I cried on the plane. I don't know why.
