namii's review against another edition
1.5
Nadia made awful choices that i don’t understand but i get that i’m not really supposed to understand most of those choices that just felt harmful to everyone including herself.
It’s like instead of choosing something easy she decided to torture herself.

Spoiler
I’m strongly pro-choice, and I guess I was expecting this book to take that stance or at least firmly plant me in the characters’ shoes, but it simply didn’t (a common complaint, judging by the reviews). The only character I really felt for was Aubrey, but even her issues were never explored in detail, relegating her to a tertiary position after Nadia and Luke (who were both utterly intolerable).Spoiler
other than ab*rtion bad and ruins everyone’s lives apparently ?????? what a strange messageTL;DR The atmosphere got really claustrophobic after a while, and I didn’t quite get the point of the book.
