I tried really hard to make sense of this book, but it was simply not for me.

I appreciate an ARC from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review. I wish I’d been able to finish and enjoy it, but that was not the case.

Wasn’t a huge fan of it tbh — got bored 25% through the book. It could’ve been better written, with a little more depth to the characters.

The Girl in the Tree is an enjoyable and different read. Spun in poetic prose, it drifts between humour and angst as we learn what drove a young woman to climb a tree and decide to stay there. Our narrator is completely unreliable--she confesses several times that some of the stories from her past were lies or exaggerations--but the meaning behind everything she says and does is compelling and makes you want to believe her regardless. This unconventional work held my interest from start to finish, and I would certainly like to read more from this author if any of her other works are translated into English in the future. A thoughtful and thought-provoking read.

Let me just start by saying how beautiful this cover is. I think is very important to invest in having a good looking book. That will definitely help with making it successful.

Anyway, the story was very compelling and I like how over-descriptive some scenes or places were.
The characters were excellently flashed out and I found them very likeable.
I thoroughly enjoy this and would recommend!
