I have so many conflicting feelings about this one.
On the one hand, it is beautifully written in rhythmic verse and there are some genuinely touching moments.
On the other hand, the characters aren't deeply developed and the story feels a bit shallow - reading like a novella while sitting at over 400 pages.
I think I need more time to let my thoughts and feeling percolate on this book.
