I was honestly expecting this book to be beautifully written with some really fascinating magical realism especially because the premise sounded so promising - the fact that this young girl died and came back to life at this small tavern in the middle of nowhere.

Unfortunately though, I found it extremely boring and incredibly slow. It was to the point that I got to 80+ pages and still couldn't figure out what was the purpose of the book. I was also very confused because the writing style was all over the place. It would jump from random person to random person in terms of their perspective so I got hints from all over but it was not well consolidated.

This book was not for me. I picked it up for a book club and while I was the only person who DNFed it, everyone else with the exception of one person felt that they essentially wasted their time reading this book and was envious that I had the guts to DNF it.
