I think Lockhart accomplished everything she wanted to accomplish with this book and it is an ambitious bit of fabulism or speculative lit fic. But some parts were so unbearably sad I couldn’t breathe and that isn’t actually what I wanted from a so-called love story.

I think I hated this. Or I really appreciate the literary devices? I can’t tell but it definitely didn’t make me happy.

I … don’t think I liked this. Not a surprise since I also didn’t like Exit, West which she cites as inspiration.

I’m not okay, yet.
But I’m a little better than I was two weeks ago.
