This ticked a lot of my favourites 
☑️ creepy (ish) and creative magic 
☑️ Queer
☑️ Dealing with Homophobia 
☑️ Dimensional characters (ish) 

Could have been a bit better with a bit more plot, let’s go a bit deeper, but a very enjoyable read

Such an interesting premise! I love the idea that books are memories - as a child I thought all books were real and about parallel universes. This is based in a Victorian period, where all the books are people’s memories. 
It’s a beautiful love story and a lot darker than I thought, but I would have liked characters to be a little more fleshed out with quirks and interests. I expected more about the world of binding but it’s very much about the two love interests, which I’m here for! 
I went into this book knowing nothing about it or the genre as it was a book club read, but I enjoyed it.
