I don’t know what I expected but it wasn’t this. (In the best way possible)
One star less because the first part is incredibly slow, almost excruciatingly so but the next two are so much faster and it’s followed by an abrupt end. That kinda killed the mood for me.
Heart wrenchingly beautiful. I wished there had been one more chapter at least.
2nd read; audiobook:
The audiobook narration is very well done and extremely immersive.
I forgot how much I hate the sister. She’s extremely manipulative and self-centered.
