Awesome book, but that first 25% is hard to get your bearings. Worth the push through!

Convoluted sentence structure that demanded attention. Slow, quiet story. I might have enjoyed it better at a different time-- it rarely matched my mood and was tough to get through.

Beautiful writing. I’m started a bit slow for me, but I really enjoyed the second half of the book.

This one wasn’t entirely for me, but what an in-depth coming of age tale. Written with poetic language that slows you down, encouraging the reader to sip and savor.
