Holy Moly was this book ever AMAZING!!! I had to read it and get it done so I'll wait for others before posting many comments.

(view spoiler)[Jeez, at first I was a bit confused. It seemed like the story stopped mid-air and then went on to something else. After I kept reading, I realized that was by design. I was so into the first story, Dr. Goose and his "treating" Adam, etc.

I really liked the relationship between the stowaway and Adam too. There were parts that I had to re-read because I had both the audio (listening while getting my nails done and other times driving) and the ebook. I absolutely LOVED this one and yet I never really wanted to read it. lol (hide spoiler)]

I will say that this book is BEAUTIFULLY written. It's lyrical, poetic, the prose is amazing, it held my interest and I was 100% engaged even at any point I got confused. I just had to re-read those parts to make sure I understood it.

And praises to the narrators of the audiobook. All of the narrators were excellent and helped me to understand the book; however, I don't think I would've done as well comprehending had I only used the audiobook. I'm not a great auditory learner.

Thanks for the recommendation, Trisha!
