Not what I was expecting. A bit darker, but light at the end. I love the theme though of trying to connect to people, even after things have been broken. And traveling! Ah, who doesn't love traveling? Clarke doesn't get into the detail of the scenery too much, I wish she did that more, but enough to feel places. And she certainly got into characters. They're so fascinating to read about, with revelations coming along and just the right. Best hostel swap ever.
