I really enjoyed the writing of this book. It has such lavish descriptions when needed but is still able to get the story across without going overboard. The inner turmoil of the characters are so interesting to watch unfold before your eyes, even side characters feel so realistic and complex. Amy and Isabelle's relationship is heartwrenching and layered and beautiful. There are scenes between the two that I know I will be thinking about for a long while after i put this book back on the shelf.
