The Pallbearers Club: A Novel

omfg I hated this book so much in the beginning. I would've liked the whole teenage thing a lot more when I was an actual teenager. as much as I wished for something to happen during much of this book, now that I've finished it, it's really sticking with me. was mercy/mary really a vampire (were the last few pages memoir/truth?) or was she becoming what he needed her to be? was she even mary/mercy? was she the woman from the first viewing, Kathleen? are we supposed to believe art fell victim to his delusions? does mercy essentially stalking him count towards her being a vampire or towards fueling arts delusions? was she even a vampire or an interdimensional being?

my enjoyment reading this book was like a 2 but the thoughts I'm left with are a 3.75 leaving me with a ~3 rating overall.

edit: still thinking about this book and how it reminds me of how ephemeral youth is and of the mystery the universe held and how sad life is and how we will never know. a mysterious memory that that sticks with you all your life.
