Regardless of how Bitter Orange was not as twisty or thrilling as the inner reviews made it out to be, I was glued to the pages during the latter half of the book and kept tumbling the characters and their narration around in my head for days afterward. The language in the book is beautiful, dazzling with imagery and the allure of friendship. I would reccomend reading this book for those features, although I found the twist ending somewhat predictable.
