This book was a train wreck I could not look away from. Beautiful writing, intriguing plot, insightful characters, and a gruesome dedication to detail that made it impossible for me to put this book down.

some really good observations and writing but i didn’t feel that the two timelines weaved together nicely; overall the ‘present day’ stuff was more interesting to me and the flashback sections felt drawn out.
