4.75

A really gorgeous, sweeping book about ambition, illusion, and fated connections. Bonus points for depicting complicated women without judgment and
a steamy bisexual love triangle set in the past
. This is my favorite type of novel, one that spans many decades and weaves together plots and destinies. Only knocking it down .25 because I wanted a smidge more closure surrounding Harley’s story.
