Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

there was so much potential in this book!! i really wanted this to be the kind of book you want to get lost in, in a wanderlust sort of way (because of the title) but truthfully, i was just plain lost. 

it has magical realism, romance, historical fiction, new beginnings, the LOVE of books and being bookish, and a literary mystery. all things i love! but i wasn’t able to connect to the characters and the plot headed in a direction that didn’t match the vibes this book was trying to create. 

so in all, my special edition is going to look beautiful on my bookshelf and be a pretty book to admire - but mostly from the outside and not necessarily because of anything in it.
