The scene where Eleanor thought she was holding Theodora's hand freaked me right out. In general the sense of tension, claustrophobia, and anxiety was just so well done, always lurking under the surface even when the characters were trying to ignore it/make light of things. The scenes with Montague's wife were funny though.

Yess! Came here to say exactly this! That scene sticks with me because it's so realistic but also terrifying.

Same! I have never felt so terrified from a book passage! Unforgettable moment.
