5.0

An absolute masterclass - the complex storyweaving really felt like the essence of jazz put to words yet still had you caring so deeply about all the characters. Also loved the personification of the narrator. One of those books that will stay with you for a while after you close the page.

The best book I have ever read up until this point. Every character was thoroughly explored and described so poetically. Loved this book in every way I could.
