3.0

loved the vibrant imagery of the writing but the language felt a bit too soft and unexciting. thought it was interesting how synesthesia is explored in this book (the main character see scents as colours) the queer representation was too cursory, but at least it had a happy ending and ended up being a strong comfort read in my opinion.
