This book is not the kind I usually love, but if it is yours, and even maybe if its not, I would recommend reading it. I'm an adventure girl, I'm in it for the plot, and I usually hate when books have super long chapters like this.
This book is kind of melancholy and the plot is pretty loose and only gets clearer once you get further into the book. However, it is so beautifully written and considering many of the chapters were originally independent stories, the continuity and overarching plot is still there. It really came together in the final chapter. I think that took the story to another level and made me appreciate a lot of the chapters even more.
If this is the type of book you like, I'd imagine you'd rate it even higher than I did.
