I'm a hit or miss kind of person with literary fiction. This one didn't do it for me. Words felt unnecessary and I'm not sure I have much more interest for woman-obsessed-with-woman stories anymore. However, the real-life story that inspired this book sounds fascinating and I'll definitely do more research about it.

I was so excited to read this book and was so disappointed. It is extremely slow. The audiobook is only 5 hours and I listened on 1.25 speed but it still took me over a month to finish. I kept reading thinking the pace might pick up and because I was interested in the characters, but the prose was flowery without real substance.
