actually finished reading this last year and forgot to log it but it's too late now, oops. 

this was written really exquisitely but the excess of detail and "vibes only" type of storytelling appeals to me less than I thought it did. I also couldn't find it in me to become attached to any of the characters. very odd - I was convinced I would love this book so much so that I finished it despite each page feeling like a chore to get through. I don't think I can recommend this book wholeheartedly except to people who already enjoy this type of writing.
