I have super mixed feelings about this. The writing was beautiful but a little pretentious at times. The story was clever but I didn’t understand all of it. The romance was compelling but quite over the top.

I enjoyed reading it but had some issues... definitely not for everyone but if you like poetry and romance I’d give it a go
