I didn't love this quite as much as Olga Dies Dreaming -- there's a supernatural element that I struggled with, although I did come around, and the parallels between the two alternating narratives are a bit too on-the-nose at times -- but I found myself really invested in the plot by the end and I was sorry to turn the last page.
