I really liked this the whole way through, until I got to the end, which seemed ... underwhelming? The book is basically a close look at two characters who sort of weave in and out of each other's lives during school/college - but still I felt like I was waiting the whole time for something to happen, and it never did. Still glad I picked it up, but I do wish it could have come to something more. The characters themselves are very human, and there's a lot of misunderstandings and miscommunication, which I usually hate, but this was done here in a realistic way. The story is not tragic exactly, but there's a whole layer of melancholy over the book - definitely have to be in the right mood to read.
I'll also mention that the style of the book made it kind of exhausting to read. There's no quotes for any of the dialogue, and there's a lot of time jumping, so it's just mentally tough to physically look at and read.
