I really enjoyed the book and the flowery user of language particularly at the beginning. The plot twists were genuinely gasp-worthy however I felt there was some odd pacing and a lot of repetition.

Sometimes, when a character was describing some personal philosophy it dragged. Overall the story was engaging. I was reading the last pages while getting my hair done unable to put it down till I knew what happened. The ending was bittersweet and the more I think of it the more fitting it is.
