This was a beautiful story!
I absolutely love stories of magical realism, and this was no exception. Delphie is flawed and unlikeable and struggles to forge any meaningful relationships. As soon as we learn the reasons that made her that way, I fell in love with her.
I adored the theme of connection throughout, letting people be your village, allowing yourself to be vulnerable.
Whilst the story was very predictable, it still packed an emotional punch. Highly recommend for fans of The Dead Romantics!
