It’s crazy but entertaining!

It was one of those books that when I finished I really needed to talk to someone to ask, “Did this mean what I thought? And did this happen? Who was this?” Of course, I’ve forgotten most of it now!

That’s it perfectly- confusing but satisfying! You’re right about Evelyn Hardcastle- I forgot that book, which I loved. I never read Harry August. I’ll save it for a time when my brain is recharged enough to ge tthe gist!

That’s kind of how I felt, too, but then when it wrapped up I felt better. But I don’t know if I should have! I was torn between thinking it was unnecessarily complicated or it was an awesome way to mess with the reader’s mind.

My head should have exploded right? Was that the goal?

I read both of those this spring, in fairly close succession. I really liked the former, although most of the book I was totally lost. Even when you think you understand, it’s confusing. But at the end, it is satisfying.

It made me smile! I think you sum it up really well. I didn’t always feel like I was putting every piece in the right spot either, but still loved the journey.
