This book manages to be frustrating, whimsical, and somber all at once. If you’re like me, many parts of this book will have your fists clenched in anger. Best rest assured, your fists will uncurl (mostly anyway) by the end of this book (although most of the sweet here is counterbalanced by bitterness, in a true lesson in chemistry) 

At first I wasn’t sure about the writing style. It was captivating enough but when we started getting 6:30’s point of view, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Thankfully I stuck with it and the writing sucked me in and I really enjoyed this book. 

I’m very late to this party but I’m really glad I picked this book up!
