The writing is tenderly bewitching. I love how we get to know every character but at the same time they still seemed mysterious at the beginning and we undfold slowly their personalities. The only thing was that sometimes the book was very slow.
And one plus, I love that every main character (or everyone I think) was black but it wasn't the topic ( it at all a topic in the book), being black was normal, just a aspect of the characters
