Perhaps this would have more of an impact if I'd read the previous books. It stands alone fine as a novel on its own, but once I was aware there were two more before it, I think it would have given my read more depth. It's very light, to the point of being nearly insubtantial at times. Lines are repeated for effect, but a little wearing. I think I was frustrated by the narrator. I was finding her a bit of a wet blanket despite all her poignant and intimate longings and humanity. Because she is very human, and sweet and clearly insightful... but somehow it never reached the giddy heights of truth as described on the dust jacket.
