I loved the themes in this book, spirituality and mind, body and soul, gender and sexuality. The writing was really poetical and I enjoyed it even though I feel like I wanted a clearer plot. I feel like the character navigating through life was not enough for me, because even though the book is beautifly written, I finished it without really feeling anything for any of the characters.
