This was epic. I loved every character in this book and even though I KNEW what was coming, I was unprepared for it emotionally. Whoo. Going to have to take a reading break for a minute. That said, I did find it slowed down for a bit for me (especially in the story of Abelard) and I found myself getting impatient to get back to Oscar and Lola. I'm coming away with the idea that maybe everyone's family is the victim of some sort of Fuku.
