5.0

This book blew me away, the complex characters, the underlying currents of socio-economic inequality, the exploration of all types of relationships and the personal thoughts of realistic characters that are easy to relate to. The writing is phenomenal, simplistic but so eerily thought-provoking that I feel as if I see the world differently now. It made me question my own experiences and brought me insights that made me feel seen. I've never read anything like it, and I would recommend it wholeheartedly.
