I really enjoyed this book! It gave me all the Beauty and the Beast as well as.The Phantom of the Opera vibes, and after I finished the book I saw that the book was said to be perfect for those two. The plot was enjoyable, as were the characters. I did find the plot to be slow, and there were times when I really minded. All in all still an amazing read!

Cool premise, solid execution. Hard to put down.

 DNF @ 45%. This book is all vibes and no plot, which is just not my jam. Also the references to Chicago were all so very, very specific and there were so many of them that it just felt... weird? Like as a native Chicagoan, yes, I can confirm that the Brown Line will in fact take you to the named intersection in the book, but why is that relevant? Also I haven't thought about Frango Mints in over a decade.

Alas, alack.
