Such a breathtaking read (and the audiobook narration is to die for!). The idea that books are actually lived experiences by people that have been captured so that they can forget them (whatever that reasoning may be) is compelling as heck, but as we can see from the POV characters, it can be a hell of a thing when it's not what you really want. A great love story. I got through 3/4 of the book in one day and the first 1/4 of the book I read like months ago and then I got side tracked by other books and only just now came back to it; it didn't actually take me 2.5 months to finish it.
