i thoroughly enjoyed this book. the writing is so beautiful and the imagery of colors, food, memories, etc. are so incredibly lush and just breathtaking. the journey we see Leigh embark in terms of grief, mourning, guilt is so poignant that you feel with her. however, i wish i had someone to discuss this book with because it left me with so many questions. also please check content warnings!!!!
