The writing was amazing and I was hooked so fast to the story. When I first picked the book up a long time ago I was intimidated by the Shakespeare dialogue, so I waited to get the audiobook and it was worth the wait. 
Would definitely be thinking about this book in the next couple days and would want to read it again in the future.

This book is exactly what it says on the tin, for good and for bad. After a somewhat slow climb, it gets exponentially more engaging in its back half, but it never quite feels like the throes of its passion are earned. It does get close at the end there, though. The biggest hurdle I encountered as a reader in 2024 is that the particular white wealthy 2017-flavor of pretentiousness of the characters leads to some… ickiness. Read the content warnings, I beg.
