It’s best to head into this book knowing as little as possible. It’s most mysterious when first read or listened to, but even so, I liked to return to the story after I already knew it. The narrator is fantastic and was selected perfectly for this story. It is not for readers with little patience or cravings for variety — be warmed of repetitive and long passages. The writing moves slowly and reaches great depths.

Loved the unraveling of the mystery through the unreliable narrator’s lens. I found the protagonist to be so precious. Not the most exciting read in the world, but it offered some beautiful prose.

Brilliant. If you're interested in this book at all, go get it as soon as you can. Go in completely blind. Don't even read the blurb.
