'These are the incongruities of memory. It is hard to hold on to the entirety of something, but pieces may be held up to light.'

I devoured this book in 2 days and within the first half I knew that it would be one of my favourite books of the year. The characters are so wonderfully fleshed out with intricate storylines and the perfect balance between heart-breakingly sad and laugh out loud funny moments. 

My only issue was that sometimes the book seemed to drag on for a bit, but I suppose that's to be expected in an 800 page book. Nonetheless, this was quite probably one of the best books published in 2021 and I really look forward to Jeffers' future work.
