2.0

This is a book that kept me intrigued by the messiness and mystery, but that I immediately forgot about after reading. I liked the concept of the unnamed disease and moment of realization that the narrator is unreliable. There's a pervasive idea of how we choose to live in ignorance in order to experience happiness with those we love. 

Unfortunately I don't have much else to say about this book.
