We Begin at the End

I'm a bit shocked I gave this 5 stars, half way through it was feeling like a run of the mill 3 star book. The lack of the typical elements of a crime novel, investigation/evidence etc, disappointed me for much of the story but over time the book really snuck up on me and by the end this difference was it's greatest strength. It's rare that a book can make you care so much about its characters and rarer still for it to also surprise you at the end.
