The Strange Fascinations of Noah Hypnotik

This book is absolutely amazing!! It's so beautifully written and has so many clever metaphors intertwined throughout the story. One of my favorite quotes from the book has to be “Sometimes I feel like a guest in a house full of loving people I barely know, and I see a wide-open yard out back, and think, ‘That's where I want to be', and so I walk outside. But standing alone in the empty yard, I look back inside at a house full of loving people, and I think, ‘Why did I come out here?'” It takes one of the most overdone, overused tropes and turns it right on its head. There was a moment when I was reading it when I really believed that this amazing book was going to fall victim to a classic cliche, but it 100% did not. There are so many great twists and turns in this and all the characters are so unique! Each of them have something that makes them different and unique, none of them are cookie cutter archetypes at all. Overall, just a really great book!
