i had high expectations for this one, although it is beautifully written and certain paragraphs gave me literal goosebumps, i just couldn’t get into it on the whole :(
i love the idea of a love so strong it can turn your whole world into gold, and then into grey once it’s gone. i think my issue was just that there wasn’t much of a story - almost too poetic for a novel. if it had been condensed into a collection of poems maybe i’d have enjoyed it more.
