I started this book in May 2022. I had such high hopes for this, based on @booksandlala's and so many other people's positive reviews. I DRAGGED myself through the first 100 pages, and thought I it wasn't for me, and that I should've known better because I rarely enjoy magical realism... I put the book down and didn't pick it up again before yesterday (Jan 3rd). I've finished the rest in about 3 hours, I cannot believe it. This is the only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars, because I can't remember if it was a slow beginning or if I just picked up the book at the wrong time. Definitely rereading this, and hoping it'll be a 5 star read! 🌟🌟
