Reading this book was an experience.
I actually finished this a couple of days ago and wasn't able to properly sort my thoughts and feelings about this book into a coherent review and I still fear that this is going to end up all over the place, so sorry about that.

Lona as a character was frustrating. I was frustrated with how much I could relate to her in some instances, how much I wanted to be like her in others and then there were some scenes where I was just downright annoyed at her and couldn't believe how she managed to have any relationships - romantic or otherwise at all.

But, and this is I think important, despite her many flaws and issues, she is so deliciously human that I sometimes even forgot she wasn't actually real. That was achieved through the truly fantastic writing.

I'll be honest, it took me a while to actually get into the writing. The very short sequences with the strange headlines were... new. Not what I am used to. But oh my god, it works so well. It is so damn Lona, it's infuriating. And I mean that in the best possible way.

Was this book life changing? Probably not. But it definitely did something to me. It made me think, about humanity and about myself and about how each and every one of us has baggage and we don't know about when we first meet another person. How there is always a deeper water under the surface.

And this is why I love this book. These thoughts and musings completely sneaked up to me and I was surprised by the amount of thinking I did while reading. I honestly thought this was going to be a fairly quick read about a new adult girl who is different but not really and who has lost her way a little. It was so much more.

I recommend this book to... literally anyone. Go get Loner!
