I mostly enjoyed this book but the synopsis really built it up so that my expectations were not met. There is barely a plot! On the positive, the writing is wonderful and there are moments of tenderness that really hit despite the overall messy woman vs. void vibes. This story in the hands of a lesser writer would have left me quite annoyed upon finish. As it stands, I’m mildly annoyed but will be thinking of this one a lot.
