"Woody Allen movies are like Beatles songs. I can’t name my favorite without you immediately naming a better one. But this one tops the list for me. It invented the modern romantic comedy while simultaneously deconstructing it. It’s skeptically romantic, like most of us. Like a child’s imagining of what adult life is probably like, it’s filled with the kind of hilarious nonsense that defined Woody Allen’s standup and early writing, which I also loved. I recognize the mastery of Crimes and Misdemeanors. And Manhattan. Hannah and Her Sisters. I was floored by Blue Jasmine, which I’d put up there with his best. But this one, man it just nailed a tone I’ve never seen again. I immediately applied to NYU with every intention of meeting a woman who wears a tie."

"This slim novel is one of the most intriguing works of literature I have come upon in a long while. Part mystery, part metaphysical journey, part fairy tale, part adult love story, it brought me to a state of the most welcome strangeness, similar to the one I sought out as a young reader of books that challenged how we perceive reality and reconstruct it in text. In the narrative’s mysterious, slow burn of a chase, a woman who has left her husband is tracked down in The Taiga, a territory where the laws of nature are as much out of joint as the rules of its isolated human society. In its uneasy atmosphere there are echoes from Tarkovsky's film Stalker as well as from golden age private eye novels."

Colleen always gives me ALL the feels! I felt so connected to Beyah, it was eerie. I love how Colleen makes her characters so relatable. Beyah and Samson didn't feel like teenagers (I'm aware Beyah was 19, but the amount of stories I've read about people that age who act like they're 15 is ridiculous) and it was nice to read about mature people and adult situations. Granted, their maturity is due to the tragedies they've faced and hardships they've endured, but it was still a relief for me. I felt every single emotion in this book, so deep, I felt like my own heart bone broke right along with Beyah's. I've said it before and I'll keep saying it so long as it's true: Colleen never disappoints!
