This was so strange but for some reason you can’t put it down. I really enjoyed it and would’ve loved for it to be longer tbh. 
It had some beautiful quotes as well.

Really like Ms. Winterson's writing but not a fan of this book. In it's defense it was short.

Lyrical and beautiful imagery abound, like most of Winterson's books. A solid read. Not heart breaking but a nicely paced scratch for those moments you want a heart-touching story.
