4.5

I fell in love with this book in the first half and it slowly lost its weight through the second half. Still an amazing read and a wonderful book that left me bereft when it was complete. I thought it would be a 5 star novel but it just didn’t quite hit the mark for me. There are themes of rape and incest.
