What an incredibly beautiful and deeply moving read. Honestly this will probably be my favorite book of the year. It’s been so long since I could nerd out not just on a sensational plot and realistic characters, but the prose itself. The writing it so juicy. The kind of writing that makes me want to be a better writer. My book is filled with underlined passages and earmarked pages because there were so many beautiful lines I didn’t want to forget. 

I loved this book. Can’t recommend it enough.
