Hmmm I just don’t think this book was for me. I didn’t love the characters and the prose was a bit confusing and more poetic than I was expecting. 

I struggled to follow along, so maybe it was just over my head, but I didn’t like how choppy the story was. I think I just needed more context but it never came.
