It took me forever and a day to finish, but I loved this book. I'm struggling to put into words all of my thought because it is hard to adequately describe the story to anyone who hasn't read it. I've never been happier/more proud of getting through a book

The most confusing part of this book is the names. But! It's clear that was intentional. Everything else? Pretty lovely. (I don't mean that literally for every aspect. Don't cancel me.)
