A part of me wanted to stay in this narrative for another 200 pages, but it truly does end in a powerful place, leaving us with the questions of what Anisa has observed vs what she has learned.

I think the "thriller" aspect of the book was lacklustre. The pacing is also very slow - it took me 3 months to finish the book because I kept getting bored and putting it down.
The way the big reveal was done was very disappointing. And the characters weren't utilized in way that could have possibly brought more suspense and drama to the story.
