Took me soooo many months to finish this, not the best book for a reading slump 😭 the prose was very pretty to read but at times i found it too much and it kinda dragged on a little. Nevertheless, i love Erika she is an incredibly well written character. I think i just enjoyed the film a lot more and was a little disappointed by this book? Mind you i don’t think that’s an issue of the author i think it’s more of an issue with me, would recommend but also would not recommend.
