Yeah of course the comment on who likes/dislikes it isn't universal, it's just something I heard mentioned at some point.

I'm someone who can struggle with minutae like what I mentioned in the spoiler section, so that's probably a big part of why I disliked it. Like I said, I do understand why so many people like it - Gabrielle Zevin has great prose and the overall character development is interesting and compelling. I just struggled with some parts.

I'm glad you liked it!
