Discussed it with the book club I'm part of and opinions ranged from loving it to hating it, while I'm kinda in between. I like it better if it's meant to be an unreliable narrator suffering a psychotic break, others preferred it as a sci-fi story with an actual parallel universe. I feel like the ending suffers from not really deciding which one it is, and the book as a whole suffers from lack of foreshadowing (it reads as something written during NaNoWriMo with no real outline). But I did like the world-building that came with a constantly shrinking universe, that was really cool. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"Everyone we meet begins as a stranger, so we project onto them who we need them to be until we get to know them. He said we gave to fall in love with the idea of a person before we can fall in love with the actual person" (271). ( )
