it’s been a long time since I’ve been so amazed at a book and how clever and effective writing can be. Tess Gunty has this phenomenal dexterity with words and crafts such engrossing characters and almost (almost!) unbelievable stories. I loved how the main event (hinted at from the very beginning!) is built and how each seemingly disparate story is necessary for it to pack such a punch.

Beautifully written, the ending was definitely strange, I wish it had turned out slightly differently? Maybe I’m just attached to the characters?
