This was uhhh, a mess.
Not sure what the overall plot was, many things felt left unanswered.
It didn't grip me at any point, I was bored until the end.

My reading year is not going so well so far 🥲

What would you abandon for happiness?

Ugh, this was beautiful, even though it was a bit confusing at times. I truly love the way Mona breaks up the scenes of this novel with her own narration, with a forward, intermission and afterword.

Her characters are perfectly tragic, each teeming with their own portrayal of heartache, detachment and despair, laced with a whirlwind romance that barely kisses the edges of the story yet somehow defines its very essence.

An artful, tragic and unique tale. A backwards spin similar to what we've seen in Eternal Sunshine. Spun from the raw, lingering emotions of a nightmare. This is a must read!

This didn’t do what it thought it did. Felt like it wanted to be deep and dark and mysterious but it missed the mark by a mile. The writing isn’t bad exactly but it was just… not great.
