I loved the writing in this, it was so beautiful and melancholic. To me there was very little plot, but I liked the aesthetic enough that that wasn’t important. However, I can’t ignore that this took me a week to get through despite it being so short. I wasn’t drawn to it, though whilst actively reading I did enjoy it.
Overall, I did really like the experience, but there was one plot point I couldn’t believe had made it into this haunting novella
