If I had to describe this book in one word, I think would chose "charming"; everything from the characters and their quirks, the descriptions and mannerisms of Hale's world, to the bittersweet romance. All the elements had me caught up in the depth of the plot. Naturally -when I find a story this compelling- I want to dive through it ...but I enjoyed my stay so much that it required savouring. It is one you want to soak in. Ginn Hale's voice is very rich and imaginative. The style really brought the novel to life (enough that it could be pictured like a film with stunning art direction). 
 The main character, Belimai was particularly interesting to me. It came to a point where he was relatable, but also incredibly original - so that not one person could ever resemble him. The combination was a perfect mix for a protagonist. He goes through many things in his life and each event draws you closer to him AND supports the relationship that he builds with Harper. The two of them meet early on and instantly establish an interest in one another, but the love itself grows at a steady -and believable- pace. I would not hesitate to recommend this well crafted story to anyone who stumbles across this review!
