such an odd book. it's pretty much sapphic YA royalty, so i knew it was a crime i hadn't read it yet. the writing is like that of a fable; there is such an odd amount of distance from the reader to the protagonist, but it still felt overflowing with heart. it was such a fast and enjoyable read. i didn't expect to love it as much as I did.
