Moonlight. Obsession. Extravagant. 

Reading this book felt like interacting with a slightly empty headed socialite from the 1920s who keeps flitting between conversations and dosen’t really pay attention to you.  
It was very atmospheric and well written. I couldn’t predict how it would end and I was duly surprised. I liked the ending. Also, for the first half of the book I was very confused. And still am.
