I think this book has some pretty writing but it also really feels like it is overly descriptive. The use of some figurative language like alliteration gets cloying. I feel like it was a moody read that was ethereal. I liked the main character but I did t really know her. This may have been intentional as that is kinda a plot element. Having read her later book, I know the author is a great author! This one just didn’t hit it home for me.
