I think you will either love or hate this book. If super short chapters and just going with the bizarre (people turning into animals is not uncommon) isn’t your thing, I might skip it. Luckily, I love weird books with short chapters, and l loved it. The book is divided into three parts, and I loved how each part gave further insight into the characters. It was really beautiful and moving (and I absolutely love the cover). The one part that I wasn’t a fan of was the epilogue.

I HATE the woman has to have a kid at the end of the book trope, and I was disappointed this book fell into that. It kind of makes sense with the story, but I really wanted more. It definitely felt like the author was unsure how to give Wren a happy ending, and just thought I know! I’ll give her a kid!


Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the arc!
