This book was such an interesting and well-written novella. I was able to read this in practically one sitting and it flew by.
I loved the character growth that happened in this memoir-esque fiction. It felt so real and I was definitely empathizing with the main character and her friends.
The writing in this book is absolutely beautiful. One thing I really loved about it was its repetition of memory, and how it played around that theme. There were some twists I didn't really see coming and the unreliability of the main characters memory really kept me on my toes.
Great and important story.

Very poetic and meaningful. Good book for when you want to feel a bit down and depressed, I just don't tend to like those kind of books.
