Re-read for book club 21/7/25: I'm so happy I got to come back and read this one again. The first read-through kept smacking me with reveal after reveal and it was so nice to just be able to watch it unfold. When this story isn't constantly blowing my mind, it's actually beautiful.______________________________________Ohmygodddd????? Justin Cronin simply never misses. I am changed. This is such a total mindfuck and it's pulled off SO WELL. Scott Brick is one of the audiobook narrators and he can literally do no wrong. A+ all around.
