i'm finally almost done with mosefegh's work ahahaha...
i thought this one was challenging, but interesting. would've loved to see more of a twisted romance between rebecca and eileen, but that's neither here nor there lol. the end left me wanting something, although i did love the quick shift in pace in the last ~1/4 of the book. the beginning was slow, but truly set the scene and backstory.
excited to read homesick for another world and that'll be a wrap!
