- Plot- or character-driven? Plot
5.0
My only response is… wow. I finished it within 4 hours of starting it, and couldn’t tear myself away.
It was confusing to start, and that felt intentional. The lack of chapters left you having to really try to figure out at which point of time you were in.
The book is written as if a letter to someone. As the book progressed, in tandem you learned more about the narrator, and their life and illness. It was mysterious and haunting.
The first half read like a love letter, and then it becomes clear that it’s not.
The story, the writing, made me feel a lot of emotions, and I’m still reeling from it!
