Picked this audio on a whim. intrigued with the plot. execution felt clumsy, in my opinion, but i did listen all the way. The clumsy to me were the backtracking of the to timeline.

I did enjoy this book and loved that it was about Cape Breton. I did find the writing a bit clunky but it was a good read.

This reads too lyrical, and too fantasy for my liking.

Expectations were low and I was pleasantly surprised! At first I was afraid the story would get tangled up in the poetic prose but for the most part it didn't, although the dialogue was a little too poetic to feel realistic. As always, I'm no fan of the plot based on lack of communication, but besides this it was a lovely, tragic, whimsical, Canadian novel that I'm glad to have picked up.

Setting: Canada
Super slow at times, lots of descriptions that didn't seem relevant. There is a HEA.

Okay so I hated this book, but I still finished it and that was rough. The amount of times it misspelt "women" as "woman" drove me up the wall (about 4-6 times), the unbelievability of Polina's parents, the unrealistic dialogue between characters (no one talks like that) and just how messy it was. There was a lot of background stories that had nothing to do with the main plot line. The 2 lead characters were infuriating. I don't know why I wasted my time.
