A review by ccaitlinranae
Portrait of a Thief by Grace D. Li

5.0

i’ve never had a book pull me out of a reading slump as quickly and as wonderfully as this. i haven’t finished a book in over a month (quite awhile for me) and even that too me a month to finish on its own. when i say this book took me less than 24 hours to finish- including my time spent at school- i wish i was joking. i finished this 12 hour audiobook in 24 hours. it’s that good. i couldn’t stop thinking about it. i still can’t. my god. read this book. i don’t have anything coherent to say other than this may be one of the best debut novels i’ve ever read. in easy contention for my best book of 2022
