I'm so glad I picked up this book when I did, because it reminded me of everything I love about reading. It's complex and heartrending; sometimes it was a bit hard to keep track of all the minor characters, but all the main characters were dynamic and compelling and so, so human.

Non-linear timelines can be either the best or worst thing ever, and in this one they're very well utilized. The ending, I thought, struck the perfect tone—I won't go into too much detail because I don't want to mark for spoilers and I have a feeling I'll want to reread and rediscover it.
