3.25
Had a hard time deciding on a rating for this book as its very unlike my typical book preference. Ultimately ended up on 3.25 for the following reasons:
Once I got used to the metaphorical flowery language and the non-linear storyline I actually found it easy reading.
All the characters had distinct personalities and felt pretty well fleshed out. I thought the interconnecting timelines were well done and clear (I never got confused as to which one we had jumped to).
The themes of love and grief and family were very well done and felt incredibly realistic whilst also having a whimsical element to them.
Would potentially read more by this author in future if I wanted a change to my usual reading preference.
