Took a bit of getting used to the writing style and it is likely I will need a second read at some point. The writing was lovely but sometimes it's too abstract.

There was some really beautiful writing, but the love story was sort of sprung on the reader. I am a sucker for a slow burn, and this was a kamikaze that didn’t make any sense. There was no reasoning as to why they loved each other! Overall there was strong imagery, but lazy transitions. Some people absolutely love this book, it just isn’t for me.
