Beautiful, lyrical, and so, so magical. It’s hard to express everything this book makes you feel into words because, more than a novel or concrete story, it feels like a sensory overload as we journey through the lives of the story’s protagonists. There were a lot of tense moments where I found myself dreading what might happen to the characters, especially at the hands of the often cruel and misunderstanding townspeople they lived with, but it’s ultimately a story about love, self-reflection, and self-acceptance. It’s an experience that stays with you long after you finish reading.
