I don’t think I have had such a tough time rating any book ever! I keep changing my mind from 5 stars to 4.5 stars. Even now I’m not sure.

I have not ever read anything like this. It has so many books within the book that I wonder how the author kept track of them.

It’s a must read if you want to explore a whole new world of prose!

The characterization and and time jumps were jarring and clunky. I wasn’t quite sure how to feel about the major twist in the story, but I appreciated the plot device. The web of these relationships seemed to get really sticky and interwoven in a way I personally found confusing. Definitely a good casual read with very good dark seaside vibes, she conjures a clear world but the characterization I find is fuzzy.
