I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
3.5/5 STARS
I challenged myself to read this book because it is National Poetry Month. I don’t generally like poetry so I knew this would be a tough read for me. I have a hard time understanding poetry. I kinda just want things spelled out for me.
I really enjoyed the story. Only because poetry isn’t my thing, I wish I could have gotten more detail about characters and events. It’s not like the story was lacking in any way, I’m just used to more detailed writing. I really liked Luca, but we didn’t get a ton of him which made me a little sad.
The format was interesting and different from anything I read. It jumped time back and forth a lot and that took a bit for me to adjust to on top of adjusting to the poetry.
I’m glad I challenged myself to read this. It was good. And I feel like I have a better appreciation for poetry and might try some more here and there, but it’s just really not my thing.
I’m not sure I quite understood the ending. But that’s okay. I think I’ll come back to it and try to get a better handle on understanding the poetry.
