THIS BOOK 🤌🏼 was so beautifully told. It was definitely a slow burner for the first two thirds of the plot, but that last third *chefs kiss*.

It had a wonderful juxtaposition of fantastical escapism over very real, uncomfortable emotions (sorrow, anxiety, camaraderie and belonging). It had such a delicate tone, and that ending… 🥺
