Loved: the dueling narratives. The last chapter was my favorite because it changed how I looked back on the entire book, really made me think about what I read.
Didn’t love: the time period, but that’s a personal thing; I don’t love historical fiction.

Le format narratif ralentit le rythme... je n'ai pas du tout aimé lire les lettres de Bella par l'intermédiaire de Godwin. Ça alourdit tellement le récit!

I really liked this book and it was really bizarre, I especially loved how the ending basically made you question the validity of the narrator and the entire book. Some parts were a bit hard to follow and understand, but it was still an enjoyable read.
I really wanted to love this and in some parts, I did, but overall it felt rambling and unnecessarily convoluted. The last chapter, especially, seemed to be simply more words, like Gray was trying to meet a word count. I did love Victoria’s letter, though.
