4.5

so good but so devastating. the second half was 
written SO well and i cried through it 😭. will never stop thinking about this book omg it’s beautiful. the part where she discovers the mirror and then talks about seeing herself for the first time made me UGLY CRY I LOVE TJIS BOOK

perfectly illustrates a girls growth and how lack of men does not weaken them. much to contrary belief, we do NOT need men to survive.
