This book grew on me. It took me some time to warm up to the language and eventually they stole my heart. I appreciate the dual POV and how quickly it switched back and forth to share moments from both characters’ perspectives. There were some loose ends and details missing - especially with Stephen - but I also get that it’s a short book that really focuses on the main narrative.
