Was so enjoying this; just got busy with life and didn't feel like re-reading half of the book to remember what was going on. Would like to revisit at some point.

Officially marking this as a DNF after 6 months. Nothing wrong with the book, it just sent me into an absolute clusterfuck of a gender crisis. Really enjoyed what I did read so will definitely be revisiting this at some point to finish, just want to get it out of my currently reading list here.
