I liked this book, but the time jumps and there being so many characters threw me off a lot. (It was hard to keep track of sometimes).

I loved the experience of reading this. It was so atmospheric and relaxing. However, I often found it hard to folllow because of the back and forth POVs and timelines. I also did myself the disservice of switching between the audio and digital versions willy nilly, which didn't help the matter. But in my defense I've been struggling to physically read this year (not in a good head space), so the audiobook was very helpful in actually finishing the book. Plus it's narrated by Jim Dale, my favorite audiobook narrator, so how could I resist?

My point is that I'm not entirely sure what I read and I definitely missed some things, but the experience was lovely despite any confusion. 😅 I'd like to reread this, in just one format, when my mind isn't gobbledygook. 🙈
