I struggled to understand the last chapter. I also learned that I do not particularly enjoy books that blur the distinction between fever dream and reality. A good thing to know about myself, I guess!
A gorgeously written slice-of-life novel with a touch of magical realism. Some readers may find the ending unsatisfying but I think that makes the story feel more like real life, we don't always get a neat and tidy ending and sometimes we have to interpret events the best we can and accept that some mysteries will always remain mysteries.

I had high hopes for this one - the moodiness of it was lovely, but the execution left something to be desired. I was genuinely disappointed in the ending, it seemed to have just gone no where for no reason the whole time.

This was an unexpected read. I picked it up on a whim scrolling through Libby. It’s haunting and beautifully written. Perfect read for autumn.
This was a bit fever dream-y for me. I enjoyed the feel of the book more than the book itself.
