Absolutely glued to this book for the past three days. The complex dynamic between Lina and Lenú was so compelling, and was underscored by their love and admiration for the other. A triumph of a book about women's friendships that had me sobbing in public places, a tangled love affair that had me tossing and turning when I finally had to put it down and shut the lights. I wish I could read it again for the first time.
