it took me ages to finish this book, even though it has all the characteristics i love in a book (very poetic writing, developed thoughts, intricate scenes, and it felt like a discussion with the main character during which we both think the same way but ok different matters…) i struggled to pick it up again every time i put it down despite how much i enjoyed it when i did 
still, very beautiful writing of an uncommonly said story
