I am UNWELL. Barely put this down since I started it yesterday. Everything about this was so special, and reading Eve’s journey throughout was such a treat. And Shep! Sweet, precious Shep. Was he a bit of a manic pixie dream in that he kind of only existed in the context of Eve? Sure, but I don’t really care. I absolutely adored the two of them together. 

The only thing I really wished for a little bit more of was Willa, and I do feel a little robbed of more of a conclusion of her personal storyline and meeting Miriam at the end. 

Still, I came out of this an emotional mess and completely in love with this book. So some notes, but still no question about this being 5 stars. 

Going to have a bit of a book hangover from this one!
