![]() I don’t usually enjoy second person narratives as much, but this was written so cleverly and seamlessly that I felt completely taken in by the story and couldn’t put it down. ![]() I particularly enjoyed the titular story, Ghost Lover, which was told in the second person. I felt completely gripped by Taddeo’s writing - each story had a similar style but also had distinguishing qualities too. There are lots of very sensitive and distressing topics discussed in this book so I definitely recommend looking up trigger warnings if you’re concerned. There were so many hard-hitting and emotional observational comments sewn in so casually, that it didn’t feel like I was reading about something heavy and harrowing until that sucker punch line got me right in the feels. I felt so moved by so many parts of these stories. The main themes that connect these nine stories are the fever of obsession, the blindness of love, and the mania of grief. ![]() I only knew it was a collection of short stories. ![]() I knew nothing about this book before I started reading - I hadn’t seen anybody talk about it, and I hadn’t read the blurb. ![]()
