a lot of !!! which means it’s good

I was afraid I would be disappointed in this book once I read it since it’s so hyped up in the internet and therefor in my head but, boy was I wrong.
This story is extraordinary, it’s so well written and worked out. And it had so many good quotes, god, this is the most I’ve annotated in any book so far.
My favorite part were the characters. Of course Alex and Henry but also Nora, June, Bea (!!!), Cash, Zhara, Shaan, Ellen (!!!), Cathrine (!!!),
The only thing that I didn’t like, which is also the reason I give it 4,5 stars and not 5, was the politics in this. As someone who did not grow up in the states and is not particularly interested in politics, that aspect to it was to me sometimes boring and hard to understand. I found myself longing for another interaction between Alex and Henry, which would be so good, it would make up for all the politics.
In all, I get the hype and I will join the hype.
I love this book
