oh my god.
this is the most stunning prose i have ever read, and i have read a whole lot. i’m lost for words. this was truly exquisite.
the second-person narrative worked so well, i can’t believe this book is a debut. so so so beautifully crafted. i study english at university, and books like this remind me why. gorgeous.
so atmospheric, so melancholy. perfect, honestly.
required reading! i recommend this to anyone.
