I really enjoyed reading this book, the language/writing we're beautiful. I found the form/structure a bit of work at times. I read this fairly surface level and I definitely missed some things, but this book has tonnes to offer. I think I might read this book again and take my time so as to think more about what it is saying, but even surface level it was beautiful to read.
