This book is truly amazing. It has that beautiful lyrical style of writing which makes the lines completely fun to say out loud. The characters are deep and well developed. You know and love all of the dysfunctional cast before long. I love that it constantly adds pieces to help lead you toward the answer to the big mysteries of the story. I won't spoil. It is definitely worth reading if you are up to a cry your eyes out novel. This was one book that literally (and I mean literally) made me sob. (I was on a busy plane no less, attempting not to cry out loud and wake my row-mates). Despite that, I wouldn't call it a tragedy. Not exactly. I would place it more solidly in the The Fault in Our Stars area. It will hurt you, but in a meaningful way. It was very very painful. Read with caution, but it is definitely worth the time.
