4.0

This novel was full of beautiful imagery and evocative language. Some delicious personification!

 The book was about being invisible at the expense of other people's success and desire to draw attention. How sometimes when egos shine others fade. It was also about trauma leading to becoming a facsimile of yourself. 

And what it means to be truly alive!
