RATING: All the stars in the world
I am relieved I finished this book because I couldn't stand reading it. It kept destroying me with each page, each sentence, each word. I never read a YA novel so peculiar, so enchanting, so beautifully bizarre. I can't gather my thoughts and write anything else, I probably never will. But please, read this book. Read it if you ever have the chance.
"When they were pronounced man and wife, Emilienne silently promised she'd be good to her husband, as long as he didn't ask for her heart.
She no longer had one to give."
