Wow. Beautifully written. I read a review of this book before I read it and it said, "devastatingly beautiful." This is an accurate description. The premise is basically, the devil was invited to town and came. Though the "devil" revealed himself, I'm unsure of who or what really was the devil. This book reads like poetry...tragic poetry. Very emotional.

beautiful. heart-wrenching. elegantly written.

this book is like the temptation of the burning flame—impossible to turn away from; painful to the touch.

It’s hard not to fall in love with the only blanket in winter. And love, Grand did.

IM SO DEVASTATED THAT I FINISHED THIS WAAHHH 😖 tiffany mcdaniel is the IT girl for me now.. both of her books are so magically written, so familiar and so truthfully poignant i feel like i’m leaving family when i finish her stories. 
they are STORIES, there’s a whole world inside this book, hundreds of people and places and feelings that were so REAL and fleshed out. i honestly had no idea where this book was going but i loved every page and chapter more than the last. not sure i’ve ever felt such love and fondness for a fictional story character before Grand & im sure i’ll think about his character long after finishing this book. 
just such beautiful, rich, quality writing with twists and turns, characters with souls, reflection, red herrings and dead ends. i already want to read again IM SERIOUS
