The writing in this book was exquisite - I’ve very rarely seen such beautiful prose like this with quote I’d love to look back on depicting love and all elements of it. Unfortunately, the story didn’t grip me as much as I’d hoped and there were times I unfortunately just couldn’t really stand it (maybe that was the intention?). It was such a shame because I’d heard so many things about it from so many people, but unfortunately I won’t be putting this at the top of my list. 

It’s made me more intrigued to watch the film but not too much else. Definitely one for some people but just not for me.
