Such beautiful writing. I’d have to re-read passages just to sit in the words longer. Haunting and tender.

I like that it's got a melancholy tone but still feels right for summer. It's like the feeling of being in the sun for so long you get tired. 

I loved the vivid descriptions of the Swedish countryside and the gritty campsites and lake with blue algae.  

Each scene is written so perfectly, tension in tense scenes, light and breezy in the easy scenes.
