I loved reading this book. The characters were so interesting and layered, lovable but fallible. Every scene felt fully formed, but not predictable. The plot was secondary to getting to know the characters and having their motivations slowly revealed. I think I could get more out of a second read, so I’ll hold onto my copy and save it for later.
