4.5 stars - What a strange, poignant book! Bertino’s writing is incredibly beautiful. I read a library copy, otherwise I would’ve been underlining everything! It’s a story of a reluctant bride who is coming to terms with who she is and the hurt she has stored inside her. It feels very new to me, and like I haven’t read anything quite like it before. Love how Bertino blended reality with imagination (sorta like Murakami?!).
