OK so now that my coffee has hit I can communicate my emotions about this book:
This felt exactly like something I would have written during high school and thought this was pure art. It was poetic and overly flowery, there was a stunning lack of communication between characters, and there was some motive for character's actions, but not a ton. I'm trying to keep this spoiler free so I on't go too into that last bit but the book is super short.
On that exact note, this book clocks in at under 300 pages. Half of it was all flowery words and repetition and metaphors and the rest was something resembling a story. For example, instead of saying something like "I was scared", it would have said "my heart trembled like a frightened little dove ready to fly away", but it did that every time. It feels like the author tried to push a story that ran on emotions alone.
Grace, our main character, is just a little dumb. I'll keep it spoiler free, but everything is going great and then she does one little bitty thing that goes against everything she was talking about for the previous 150 pages and she brings it all it shit. I wish I could divulge it all here but that would spoil it and, thus, this would not be a spoiler free review. Sigh.
Anyway, if you like poetic and flowery books with no point that will make you feel smart, you'll enjoy this. I don't so I did not. Not the worst book I have ever written but I wouldn't consider rereading it so... 1.5 stars.
