"At ten years old he realized that people were born whole, and that the bad things peeled layers from the person you once were, thinning compassion and empathy and the ability to construct a future. At thirteen he knew those layers could sometimes be rebuilt when people loved you. When you loved." A literary saga spanning multiple genres and decades. It's not just the story of a tragedy but also of what happens after, about obsession and several love stories, not all of them romantic. What ultimately makes this book so powerful is the strength of the characters, the humor that offers a relief through all the dark themes and the many surprising twists. And it's the kind of twists that I like: thoughtful, layered discoveries. Finding out what happened in this book is a gradual peeling away of layers. It follows these complex characters through their lives as they chase answers to a mystery that gets colder by the day, but alongside this are many powerful stories of love, friendship and loyalty. I cared so very much about every single character! The only critique I have is that this book consists of 261 chapters, some of them barely a couple pages long. This makes the pacing of the story quite eratic. It starts out fast, almost rushed slows a lot in the middle and picks up speed again at the end. I would have liked a more consistent tempo.
