Another incredible book from Hoang that I was so excited to read - this really felt like a book I could get to grips with the narrator in and in the afterword Hoang says that Anna was the character she felt she could connect to the most. This emotion really came across and she was instantly vibrant and jumped off the page from the offset.

My main complaint about this novel is actually that I wanted it to be longer! I wanted more about Quan and more about letting each other in. An even slower burn! I just didn't want to let go of them! I feel like the whole period when Anna was struggling after her lowest point and he was just there for her was magnificent but as a reader I needed more reason to believe in and invest in that. I also didn't know much about his background!

I will still instantly preorder anything Hoang writes!
