I bought the book in December.. 2017? Why did I wait so long to read it??? It took me about 2 months to read through since it felt like the type of book I could easily just put down at any time but the more I read the less I felt that way. This book had one of those amazingly bittersweet endings that fit so perfectly. God, every thought and interaction felt so bitterly natural (though I live just outside of London so I guess the whole book carried through my tone)
spoiler? I guess
I both hate and love how Marcus never got that fairy tale ending that I kind of hoped for when I first started reading the book. I love and hate how Marcus lost so much and only lost more. I love Will’s final direction. I still feel such incredible melancholy finishing the book and knowing how beyond any shadow of a doubt, that Marcus would be OK. It makes me so sad but that’s okay because that’s exactly how I wanted to feel.
I won’t read the book again for the sake of not plummeting myself into that Londoner depression. Maybe it felt too close to reality for me to escape into it? I guess I read too many books completely detached from myself. I still loved it though. Onto the next!
