This book was very nice indeed, very beautifully written and enjoyable. I'd say it was a little too long with many subplots that left me prone to skipping chapters. Similarly, the 'golden child' narrative where everyone instantly loved Stella on a spiritual level got a bit much after a while, and this paired with a bit of classism and an uncomfortable age gap meant it was a good read, but not the best.
