The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E. Harrow

5.0

 I buddy read this with Dini and Julie. It has been on my TBR for so long. I am so glad to have finally read it!! This book was so beautifully written. I didn’t have a clue where this was going, but wow did it not disappoint. The love stories in this book are inspiring and beautiful. Harrow doesn’t shy away from making you uncomfortable though. There are many moments where I was terrified for January. She is living a sheltered life with a rich “adopted father” and it turns out it’s more of a cage. She’s seen as weak and not able to fend for herself. Her journey was wonderful to watch. I felt so many emotions reading this book. I understand why so many people rave about this book. It’s going to be a top read of the year, and it’s only January. Hehe. I adored so many of the supporting characters in this book too. I do wish we could have seen how June’s story wrapped up. I adored her from the get go!
