This book is so original and I loved the ending, I would recommend having time to get into it. If you are a read before bed kind of reader like me, it took too long to get into and I would forget characters and where they were and was it present day or past. It didn’t help to be on my kindle so I couldn’t easily flip back. That said, I loved that the plot included an artist and art, and there were some good twists. about halfway through ai got into it.

I’m still processing, but ultimately I laughed, I cried, I felt things. I’m not sure how to do a review without spoiling but will do my best here- this is the first book I’ve read where I think the “thriller” part happens in the first 30%. After that is aftermath over many many years. It sometimes felt slow- but I don’t know that it was…complex, messy, full, hopeful. It kept me turning the pages and the ending was unexpected.

One of the best books I’ve read in a while! It’s dark but uplifting at the same time somehow. It’s unlike other books where someone disappears because it’s more interesting and complicated and less predictable and is kind of slow yet a page turner somehow. It’s really beautifully written and easy to grasp without being simple
