Good book! I'm not usually a pay-super-close-attention-to-the-specific-writing-style girlie, but I loved how the short chapters felt so poetic, with many that I think you could read alone as standalone (longer) poems. I'm also normally not a writing-style-gimmick girlie, but things like only ever using present tense and also no quotation marks actually felt like they enhanced the story rather than take away from it! As you can see from the review it kinda made the literary-analysis-of-a-book-im-reading-for-class part of my brain flare up but I think that's a plus. I'm definitely reading more from this author in the future!
