This book was beautifully written and got a lot darker than I expected. I took a long time reading it, mostly because the chapters in the past made me very anxious. I definitely think that they were well done, but I was not always in the right headspace to continue reading, so I took my time with it. I felt very connected to both Byron in the past and Jim in the present, and sad as their stories are, I like how the book ended. Not my usual genre but I might pick up more by this author now.
