HOLY OH MY GOODNESS I LOVE THIS BOOK SO MUCH.

Stayed up into all hours of the night reading. 4:00 AM the first night, 4:30 AM the second night, 5:30 AM the third night (but then was way overly tired and had to go to sleep with about 16 pages left). I am very proud of this staying-up-all-night-to-read business.
