I received an ARC of this book with thanks to AmazonCrossing via NetGalley

Set in a volatile Turkey, we follow a young girl who decides to live out the rest of her days in the treetops of Gulhane Park. The story rallies between The Girl wanting to forget everything that has come before her and not wanting to lose precious memories she holds dear. Before long, love enters the trees and her life, but even that is not enough to entice her to return to life below.

This began incredibly strongly for me however, roughly 40% through I just got tired. The narrative seemed to volley between past and present, as well as various character arcs which I found difficult to navigate. Whether this was supposed to represent The Girl and her state of mind I'm unsure, but if it was it didn't translate especially well. Whilst I genuinely felt for The Girl in The Tree, by the ending she frustrated and perplexed me.

2.5 stars.
