Did not finish book. Stopped at 30%.

DNF @ 30%
Tried so hard to like it, the writing is great and it’s a genuinely intriguing story but something failed to grab me. I’ll come back to it someday.

So good. Glad I started the year with this. An enlightening look into shadowed US history and terrible tragedy, with the thrill of a great mystery novel.

I read this again after listening to the audiobook. I think it might just be my favorite. It’s an unbelievably beautiful story, and so unique. I’m grateful I got to read it and I don’t have a single complaint. Such incredible prose, on gender and sexuality in particular.
