this book kind of felt like a kdrama or a telenovella with some of the themes and characters, but it wasn't unserious and over dramatic like most of them are
overall i liked it, the writing was great! the author lets you think about the subjects brought up in the story without divulging her own answers or opinions
i would have liked for some of the relationships in this novel to go deeper, or to learn more about the characters, some of them were very well developped on the page while others not as much. but at the same time i understand why it was like that so idk
maybe a sequel about izzy would be fun to read
