Someone said in their review that the book made them feel “existential and sad”. Couldn’t agree more, but I really enjoyed it. Just not a fan of
open endings
, that might leave me thinking about it instead of finishing with it.

This is by far the best book I have ever read.
And even if it wasn't, there was a
black kitten called Ocean
that would still make me love this book.
I have no words to describe how much this resonated with me.
