I had never read Nicola Dinan before, but for some reason, the description had me expecting this book to be chaotic, snide, fast-paced. I was pleasantly surprised to find it was more poignant, touching, and character-driven. I thought the dual perspective worked really well, especially when you start to see the timelines converging, which is a testament to how beautifully drawn all of the characters in the story were.

i was left having to think about a lot after i finished. some issues with the ending, gaps in my knowledge of vincent, and secondary characters i wish had more of an impact but overall a very enjoyable book with lovely prose. i look forward to reading dinan’s other book as well!

Witty and sharp. Loved the dual POVs and just being in the mind of Max was especially great.
