I’m glad I had the chance to read this book after the hype and buzz had subsided. There are many valuable lessons in this story relating to: the complexity of decisions in life, conflict that rises in the event of abandoned commitment, fear of oblivion, and marriage’s place in love (and vice versa).

4.5 stars. I really enjoyed the writing in this book. I found the characters (especially Celestial) frustrating at times, but they were all flawed humans and as such, came across as believable and fully fleshed out. I never stopped caring about them. As an Atlanta native, I enjoyed the references to places around the city, but I wonder if readers not familiar with the city get much from them. I highly recommend the audio as the narrators add a lot to the narrative.
