| The beginning was interesting but the character development got muddled in the middle and the ending left much to be desired. A decent quasi thriller but only 3 stars especially due to the unlikely and lackluster finale | |
"Ok this was very interesting and insightful, read the other reviews, they’ll tell you how the book is. Celine said it “reads like a bruise” which is the best way to put it, but it’s a bruise that everyone must stop for and pay attention to and a brui"

“In bed that night I invented a special drain that would be underneath every pillow in New York, and would connect to the reservoir. Whenever people cried themselves to sleep, the tears would all go to the same place, and in the morning the weatherman could report if the water level of the Reservoir of Tears had gone up or down, and you could know if New York is in heavy boots.”

“Love of music, of sunsets and sea; a liking for the same kind of people; political opinions that are not radically divergent; a similar stance as we look at the stars and think of the marvelous strangeness of the universe - these are what build a marriage. And it is never to be taken for granted.”
