Listened to the audiobook 🎧
Beautiful writing, a tragic story, an abrupt ending.
This is definitly one of the strangest books ive read just because of the story line, it definitly intrigued me.
I was wanting to finish it but now I'm sad it's over. 😅
Honestly it was quite hard to rate this.
There were parts I didn't enjoy just because it was hard to listen to but was sweet at times and sad. Glad to have listened to it.
TW:
One of the characters has an abusive relationship, doesn't go into to much detail but was enough to turn my stomach.

This was weird and intriguing and I couldn’t put this book down. I loved how the book has some theatrical scenes sprinkled in. I could really see how Lewis and Wren fell for each other, they loved each other so much. I loved the prose and the questions it brought up (explicitly or implicitly) about love, change, and terminal illness. While I appreciated Angela’s story, I wish it hadn’t felt so separate from Lewis and Wren’s story; it kind of took me out of the book a little, especially with how much time was spent on Angela’s life before Wren was born. Though by the end of that section I saw how it was all connected; I wish the author had taken a different direction in connecting these stories together. And I loved the ending but wanted more! I will think about this book for a long time.
