So glad the hype made me read this. As an ex-Evangelical I have complicated thoughts about Natalie.

Decided this is a DNF more than halfway through. Life is too short to read books I am too old and too picky about my fantasy worldbuilding to be the right audience for. Feeling weird about this because either a.) there’s some misplaced sense that I have to finish what I start and I’m MORE than half done or b.) the cover is SO pretty.

So glad I picked this up at my university’s library. Already taking mental notes for the review/response I want to write. Half of it is going to be me as a “raised-Evangelical but now queer and spiritual but not religious” woman thinking through how Natalie’s experience and world were similar to and also markedly different from my own, and the compassion that is not excuse that Burke has toward her.
