This was an absolutely gorgeous book, well deserving of every bit of hype it's gotten. This has made me fall in love St. John Mandel's writing and I need to find more.

I loved the characters. I fell in love with all their stories. I loved the narrative and how everything tied together so perfectly, but in a way that felt real. I loved the world that St. John Mandel created. I loved the way she built it back up and left me with so much satisfaction.

I was actually on the fence with giving this book five stars, but I felt like I was constantly wanting just a little more, from every aspect of the story. More time in the past, more time in the future, more time with each character's narrative. As much as I loved it, it all just fell a little bit short for me.
