I loved this book. It made me FEEL in a way a book hasn't in a long time and I had long conversations about it with multiple people because I couldn't stop thinking about it. It had so much heart but managed to leave me with so many questions and so much sadness and loss but also hope and lovely nostalgia. It is a terrific book and there are few people I couldn't recommend it to, but I can't think of one just now...

I read through this book fairly quickly, but was never able to get fully involved or invested in the characters or the story. It kept feeling like a big bombshell was about to drop, and when it did, it was not very exciting, because it was pretty obvious from the beginning what was going on. I think I would've preferred a book about the complicated relationships and dynamics occurring at a British boarding school over the overwrought "science fiction" twist of this story.

I've been trying for 3 days to add this to my "currently reading" list but goodreads seems to not want to do it. Argh!
Anyway...it's my audiobook for commute, so I'm not commuting now anyway, but I do actually have the time now to get online and update my books, so I guess I'll do it later.................. ...more

I found it really sad and very beautifully written.
