"When all we have are these brief spans between our nonexistences, why not make the most of the life you are living now? The price is worth it".

I am utterly wrecked by this book !!!!! The burden of fate, of desire, tradition, and choosing life is so intricately woven into this heart wrenching tale. I could read this again and again and find something new to take from it. Each relationship is so deeply explored, the prose is fantastic, and above all, the plot had me hooked around every turn. Truly a fantastic work ❤️
