I love Lauren Groff. And her writing feels like a long long poem to me. In this book, sometimes a bit too long. And while they recognize Lotto's privilege, it's still a bit much for him to be so lovable - I also kind of dislike them both and also their whole community... mostly loved reading and it didn't get slow until the end? Might update this later after thinking on it more. Additionally, (and going to be vague to avoid spoilers) there was room for some topics to be explored more based on how often they were mentioned, and then simply not explored.
