The prose is delicious. It drips with life and emotion. And the story is incredible on top of that.

The style is poetic, beautiful but also a bit confusing at times. This did not hinder me from falling in love with both of them pretty much from the start. The romance hit me with a club from behind (i was the whacked seal), not because I was necessarily surprised by it, I am very familiar with enemies to lovers as a trope, but more because I was stunned how much INTO IT I was. My lesbian darlings, red in blue, blue in red, I- gods.
Anyway.
I adored reading this. Admit to needing the audiobook next to the book because I had difficulty concentrating, but that is probably just me (being non-native english speaking). The audiobook had GREAT voice actors tbh, very well-chosen.
I finished and I wanted to read it again. I cried. I gasped. I was giddy at some of the references.
I recommend if you read this to read it in one sitting, just completely engross yourself in it.
Loved the world, the two mains and how their way of interaction and how they write their letters showed so much about them.
Big recommendation from me, my kinda book, five stars straight up.
