What a hauntingly beautiful book. The pacing of this is absolutely flawless, the way the story unfurls and reveals itself like a flower blooming. I've had such a hard time staying focused on reading for so much of this year, but I finished almost all of this in a single day. Wish I had read it sooner. Def one of the best books I've read this year.
