After the book was finished, in his acknowledgment, Adam Silvera wrote: "This book tried to end me"...
I understand perfectly what must have been happening in his heart, what emotions raged in him every day, every hour, every minute when he was working on his new novel, if, after passing through the filters of words and consciousness, a storm of emotions flares up in your heart.
This is a wonderful book. The plot unwinds like a spring. The feelings and actions of the characters are often unexpected and convincing, events are predictable, and at the same time unpredictable.
Also, I would define this book for myself as a New York novel. But that doesn't mean the book is written just for New Yorkers. Readers who know New York will find an extra "dimension" in this book. And not only because the action takes place in New York and the descriptions of the various parts of this city are incredibly "live", voluminous, and filled with accurate, vivid, memorable details. It's like a high-definition picture of NYC.
Each chapter of the novel, each of its episodes, is like the windows of a New York high-rise building glowing in the evening. At first, it seems that all these windows are similar to each other. They all seem to "glow with the same light". But in fact, every window has its own life, not like the others. Behind each window, there are different destinies, different hopes, different joys, and sorrows. However, in some strange and mysterious way, these destinies are intertwined, imperceptibly connected. And it becomes gradually clearer and clearer that we, people, are connected - without even realizing it - with each other by hundreds of threads.
This book is a hymn to love, which is stronger than death. Despite the tragedy of events, the optimism and beauty of this book are that people can rise above circumstances and, in the end, be unbroken and happy in the highest sense of this word.
It is another great book written by a beloved author. I highly recommend reading it and reflecting on the many implications of its deep and vibrant story.
