A beautiful, lonely hotel clerk and a struggling young writer are trapped in parallel narratives of sexual awakening, surveillance, and grief in twin hotels that hold carefully guarded secrets.

This book was wonderfully atmospheric - the distinction between Cly's world and Jamie's, and the overlaps, came with super interesting shifts in style, tone, and character voice. The characters were distinct and I thought the use of parental characters throughout was so interesting as well. I almost feel like this should have been two stand-alone novellas - although the hotels are a shared aspect, I found myself reading the worlds as two totally separate stories. Overall a tense, disturbing, and wholly engrossing read.
