This was absolutely a revelation for me! Such compelling character work and beautiful things to say about loneliness, belonging, memory, and love. Adina will be a character that stays with me for a long time, she’s a person I see myself in and also deeply felt for as she navigated her love and her grief. I loved that we followed her for her entire life chronologically which made for a very poignant journey, where things would come full circle in ways that felt so real and devastating. This was weird and charming and smart, absolutely adored this reading experience!
