holding my breath for the first ten pages, i declared the book “crazy good.” you could just tell that there was going to be something special there.
overall, despite really enjoying the writing, i found a lot of the plot a little too surface level for the potential that this story had. i could go from tearing up on one page, to feeling lost and devoid of emotions at the next, but i wanted to feel more consistently engaged, like i have with some other recent favorites.
