I love how this book plays with the idea of what is real and what isn’t. I do wish we had more concrete explanations for what is happening to Hilton, but that might be clearer upon rereading. Hilton was a complex character and oftentimes unlikable. But he and the other characters were very well drawn. I’m eager to read more by Due!
