Unlike anything I’ve read in terms of historical period/setting/focus. I loved the pacing of this book. I normally can’t read things in one sitting but I devoured the second half of this on the flight home from Rome and didn’t get tired of it one bit. I love that it was told from B’s point of view without you even realizing it thanks to N’s journals, and I loved the causal bisexual representation! So heartfelt and so human, so delicately and artfully done

King’s writing is great, but the characters and plot were lacking for me in this one.
