i have no idea how i found this book and i don’t remember why i bought it but i imagine my eyes skimmed the description, saw “Morocco” and i was like bet. PSA to myself to not do that 🙄

this read very quickly. i literally read it in one day. it moves along in a way that feels like someone telling a story without taking a breath. and i found myself intrigued and really invested in the mysterious aspects of the story, all for it to end up being the most predictable circumstances and all the depth i thought there was in the story was actually kind of flat, unless i just don’t understand it? 

anyway. let me also say THERE ARE NO CHAPTERS 

probably skip this if you’re like me and were hoping for a book set in Morocco written by a Moroccan author because it is most definitely not that
