I’ll be honest, this book made me stop my 575 day reading streak. It's really heavy, a lot to deal with, so it's perfect technically. Despite this I didn't connect with it as much. It was too much sorrow and too much grief and forgetting and repeating those things, and honestly the ending took too long for everyone to realize which also took me out of it.
