There's no way to prepare you for this book, and really, as you've probably read in 95% of the reviews out there so far, don't try to prepare yourself. In fact, stop reading the reviews entirely. You don't need a book report, or some plot run down. You don't need character descriptions. Or to know if there's romance, an HEA, or whatever else you're craving. "The truth is for the mind," he says. "Lies are for the heart. So let's just keep lying." Just. Read. This. Book. There's so few times in life you can go into something without preconceived notions. Don't let others' opinions sway you. Don't let what you think you want to read sway you. You could find out you really want something completely different. I think this is the book to change a lot of readers' minds. It's set the bar so much higher, in so many ways. This isn't your typical romance, in the sense of dating and first fights and all those moments-but this does have romantic qualities. Again, just not what you'd maybe expect or be used to; however, that doesn't take away from the intimacy of it all. There are plenty of "relationships" in this book-romantic and otherwise-but they're just structured differently, and because of the nature of the characters and who they are and what makes them tic, nothing about it is traditional. But putting the thought of "traditional romance" aside, there's a deeper intimacy, something everyone should be so lucky to get to experience in their lifetime.
