Not exactly spoilers but I believe you should read this completely blind!!

Although the writing is beautiful and immersive, and the themes surrounding the book were interesting, I didn’t exactly know what to expect with the story or characters at first. However, the last third of the book really ties everything together. It immediately transforms into a story like no other and has left me with so much to think about. The ‘twist’ is executed to perfection, I could not recommend reading this enough.
