Oh man. What a book. It's been a while since I sat down with a book of this length and more or less devoured the whole thing in one sitting. I didn't even realize I was halfway done it until I looked up, eyes glazed over, because I need to go to the bathroom.

This story is told through several different perspectives and it jumps between a bunch of different periods of time, and just when you think you've figured out it all, the author throws a whole new perspectives that you and whole new problems that you hadn't even considered.

How anybody in this novel digs themselves out of the pile of lies and half-truths, is kind of beyond me, but it's also super amazing as a reader to puzzle through. The balance between the more obvious twists and the stuff that caught me slightly off guard was great. I have no complaints. This was a lovely novel and I'm glad that I grabbed it on a whim at Toronto Pearson at the start of 2025.
