4.5? The pacing was a little all over and the first part dragged. The entire book is made up of a (really long) letter and diary entries from two characters (the letter is from the other to the diary writer). I’m anxious to see the film now because I just kept thinking this would be so much better as a film (but with my boy Harry playing the policeman… I am nervous.)

My favorite character was a side character of course.

All the characters were terribly flawed and super real in a way that I know will stay with me for a while.

A major theme is how we hurt the people we love the most and that’s just heartbreaking.
