Transcendental novel writing deftly weaving between complicated themes of identity, death and addiction. This novel is a gift exploring the arduous task of wanting one’s life to mean something in a world that constantly attempts to extinguish that desire.
There wasn’t a single part of the book that wasn’t dedicated to expanding our nuanced understanding of the wide variety of characters. Each character was distinct and the humor interspersed was delightful despite the sadness and tragedies explored in the novel. Each surprise and twist felt meaningful and the novel’s ambiguous ending felt just right for the certainty that Cyrus was intent on securing for most of the novel.
