Derealization

[Agnethe]

Did anyone else become super derealized after finishing this book? Im afraid that im like cadence and i keep thinking what if i too have done something so traumatizing that i cant remember and all the people in my life are hallucinations

I never thought about this. Makes me think about that theory some people have that we are all living in some matrix where we're really plugged up to a machine or in a coma and what we are doing at this moment is a false reality. I'm actually just super down and sad about the ending. I can't stop thinking about the characters and how everything played out. Even though it's not real it still disappoints me that they did not survive.

I do feel the same as you Agnethe. Sometimes I'm feeling like I am not living. What I mean by that is that sometimes I'm like :: oh it's okay if I'm not doing this right now, I have a second life to live it or something like that.

It's a strange feeling but I do understand your saying.

I found that I felt a strong sense of derealization aswell after reading this book. I did too resonate myself with Cadence and got afraid I had made mistakes and everything around me was not real. It left me in a state where I felt like I was hallucinating and everything was a nightmare/dream.

yup same, I felt like I was cadence and was afraid I had done the same things, but was hallucinating my life as cover-up, just like her.

i was definitely sad at the einding, but i feel like the main characters outside of cadence were pretty underdeveloped that i was most sad when the dogs died. (which i feel horrible for saying) i just wish that maybe the cousins were more of the focus than the aunts and grandpa
