I really really loved this book. from the lyrical descriptions of her surroundings, to the depth of her grief and her journey to understanding herself; this book spoke to me.

ok I love the characters so much. are some of the plotlines/tropes predictable? yes, but not overused or too cliché and I truly had so much fun reading this story and I'm hooked. It's has fan fiction vibes but only the best parts.
