I’ve always been a “I’m not into fantasy” girl but I am learning that I really enjoy magical realism! Some of my favorite books of the year have been magical realism and I’ve devoured them.

I love the relationships in this book. I’m big into connecting with people and building relationships and I loved how intertwined everyone was and how their relationships were different and similar. 

I will say all of the different names and POV were a bit confusing in the beginning but the list of characters in the beginning was very helpful!

I loved the Author’s Note at the beginning!
