So, I read the first chapter of this and then didn't pick it up for about 2 weeks. Don't know why but it just didn't hook me. After I forced myself to pick it back up, though, I mostly enjoyed it.
I liked the plot twist at the end that wasn't really a plot twist. I couldn't tell if I was being juked or not lol.


Not sure how I felt about the chapter layout of this book. I often read historical fiction that switches between the past and present, but this one got a little confusing near the end when the two met (putting the exact date rather than just the year would have remedied this).

Happy to say this one lived up to the hype!
Such beautiful writing and my heart broke a million times over for Kya who overcame adversity with such grace. I was so invested in this memorable cast of characters. Quite sad to be leaving them behind.
Almost too scared to watch the film now. Please donโ€™t ruin it ๐Ÿ™

Found it slow to start but as I neared the end I couldn't put it down. Very tragic and lonely but there are glimpses of joy that shine through. Felt very real, not really a murder mystery, more like an interesting biography.
