This book is written like poetry, to me. It's written absolutely gorgeously and is extremely descriptive, which appeals to me. Its quite fast paced, but I think that's the point - Jade's life is moving fast around her so this book mirrors that perfectly. The writing styler appealed to me a lot, which is nice.
The concept of the book isn't something I usually reach for, dealing with very heavy topics - though for the last half of this book, I was attached and needed to keep on reading. Following Jade through her journey of grief, finding herself and understanding herself was gorgeous, and almost useful to me. It was brilliant.
There are quite heavy triggers in the book, which did surprise me and I did need a break, but otherwise, I loved it.
