Goodness, this book was brilliant. From the diary entries to the strikethroughs to the heartbreaking notions of our main character Juliette, this book was devastating—devastatingly beautiful. Right off the bat, this story seems different from others, what with its strange formatting. At first, I was a bit unsettled by it, but it grew on me and conveyed Juliette's slipping mental state tremendously. The story is so, so emotionally charged. The characters were fascinating as well; they had so many gray areas, rather than being black-and-white, that it was impossible for me to totally hate or totally love any one character. In my opinion, everyone in this book could go through massive character development and end up as the hero, and I wouldn't be surprised. There's just the right amount of redeemability in each of them. Thank you, Tahereh Mafi, for this emotional masterpiece, and I look forward to reading the rest of the trilogy.

Oh no!!!! I hope you recover quickly!

1. so many to choose from... The Lunar Chronicles perhaps 2. Does Dear America count? I don't really read nonfiction haha 3. Maybe Keeper of the Lost Cities (P.S. did anyone else hear that the 9th book is delayed until 2022?! But I understand, because the author is taking time with her new baby) 4. the Scorpio Races 5.
