Has anyone read this book? I just finished the audiobook today and was really enjoying it right up until the end, which just left me confused. What was happening with Cyrus and Zee in the park? I assume it was a metaphor, that the world was not actually coming apart around them, but I’m not sure what it was a metaphor for. I was relieved Cyrus and Zee made up and understand the enormity of that moment in Cyrus’s life, but couldn’t the moment have just stood for itself?
Also, I enjoyed the shifting perspective throughout the novel and appreciated that it gave us insight into each character (especially Roya) which we would have missed out on if we’d just been limited to Cyrus’s POV, but thought ending with the perspective of the art gallerist/Roya’s ex wife (apologies for forgetting her name. I already returned the audiobook on Libby and can’t find it online) since she was not really a key character. It didn’t make sense to me for her to have the final thoughts.
I finished it and immediately felt like I needed to talk about it, so here I am. Would love to hear others’ thoughts on the ending or the book as a whole.
