But mostly I love the way this book thinks! I adore [a:Leah Cypess|2915782|Leah Cypess|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1271641014p2/2915782.jpg] because here stories and worlds are always so unique. And this one could have so easily been full of "life is precious!" cliches. But instead it takes a very unconventional and well reasoned approach to life and death. It asks interesting questions and offers unexpected answers and I so enjoyed that! And it dies all of that in a way that makes the characters really compelling.
The plot is structured really well - like a good movie from the nineties where all the little elements come into play at some point. And there's a bluntness in this world of people who don't pull punches and who don't apologize; whose stark honesty is so appealing.
