i have mixed feelings about this one... i got hooked pretty quick and i loved the prose - the writing is beautiful and poetic - and i truly understand where she's coming from, but at some point lucy started to annoy me. i think after half of it the story started to feel dragged and repetitive because of the characters actions and it stained the beauty of the first part for me. still a very beautiful portrait of women in love and i highlighted a LOT of passages.
