The play on the flashback and present time was sort of interesting to read. As a reader, it helped me understand deeper about the main character and how and why she ended up the way she did. I personally love the ending. I love the last few chapters as it is full of excitement and i can finally see how much Devon and Cai love each other. Genuinely though, as a reader, I felt as though Cai was irrelevant and she was dragging him around until the last few chapters (those final chapters really bumped up the rating).
I believe the 'book eater' aspect was sort of an addition to the system's flaws and patriarchy (this was more or less the main focus of the book). It also really revolves around a mother's love for her children. I wouldn't say the characters are lovable simply because they are not supposed to be lovable. I love how the author bring up these realistic topics in our world. It isn't an easy read but I'm glad I got to read it.
