So this book just happened. I remember seeing the first one on Pinterest, over the summer before seventh grade. I thought it looked pretty enough, so I saved it to my board of books I wanted to read. The following weeks led me into my English classroom where, lo-behold, sat a copy of Illuminae. Of course, I grabbed it, and I devoured it. A truly wrenching read that left young, impressionable me uncomfortable, but one that led to this. Beautifully written and unforgettable.
