The Paper Palace

What a delicious read!!! It was evocative and lusty and achey and suspenseful all in one. Cowley magnificently crafts characters that feel real and complex and the dynamics between them are palpable on the page. I became Elle. I could not put this down.

The story weaves between the past and present in a way that feels satisfying and whole. Heavier themes are explored right alongside lighter ones, all expertly balanced.

I want a cabin by the pond :(
