My first 5āļø of the year!!
I was expecting to like this but I wasnāt expecting it to make me cry.
The writing is beautiful andĀ atmospheric, the story takes itās time and is simultaneously comforting and painful. I always love the āstories attached to itemsā trope (is that a trope?) and this has that. I was worried I wasnāt fully understanding it at first (with all the ādo you understand?ā moments..), but by the end I did. Well, Iām sure there are details that I missed but I understood the overall story. This is one of my favorite books Iāve ever read I think. Please read it.
