Do not skip the epilogue. It is super important, and an absolutely intriguing twist that I would never see coming. I may need to read this one a second time through after all discoveries are made.
This book confirms my belief that I’m better off single. I’m kidding, kind of… The characters and plot highlight the disgusting underbelly of what humans are capable of doing to other humans. I honestly think every love struck teen and twenty-something needs to read this to kind of bring them back to ground level and show them that maybe they should spend ten years traveling and getting to know themselves before settling down… Also, money is a lot but it isn’t everything. I do recommend. If you are cynical, it will make you more so, and I am totally okay with being more cynical.
