Wow. I am actually really surprised at how much I like this. I've tried reading it several times and I just couldn't get past the first chapter. Not that it was terrible, it just didn't grab my attention and maybe I wasn't in the mood. But I'm really trying to read all my ARCs and this one was next on the list so I sat down and just read it. Then, I just couldn't stop reading it.
I love the writing style. It brings out the magical aspect of the book.
I like the characters. Their chemistry is undeniable. Questionable choices were made, especially on Oskar's part, but it can't be perfect. A character talking to another character thinking they don't understand them is always amusing.
Evie, her paintings, and the connection with Oskar and his family are all very intriguing. I really liked the chapters with Oskar's journal writings.
Overall, very unputdownable once you start reading it. It just has this certain charm that I don't think I'm capable of describing.
