I struggle with Anna-Marie McLemore's books bc like, they are such a beautiful writer and their prose is always so lovely, but the magical realism just doesn't like, hit for me ? Like I just can't wrap my head around like what...exactly....is happening????
I felt like with this book I came closer than usual to understanding it. The gems are a great metaphor.
Anyway 5 stars for having a cool character named Renata who is beloved by all
