What an amazing way to start 2024. I absolutely loved this book!! I bought this on a whim after someone gave it a good review but I had no expectations about what it would be like. I don’t really have the right words to describe it, but it was written with a beautiful subtly so that without even realising it I had become utterly obsessed with the characters and the stories that surrounded them. When I finished this book I was devastated to realise that the world I had just engrossed myself in for 4 days wouldn’t continue. It makes me want to read it all over again just so I can re-live that experience. I don’t know how I’m going to read anything else after this.
