I can’t wait to read the rest of the series and what trajectory those binary stars will take - closer or away from each other, how will their friendship progress and how will they develop as people. This novel is a perfect example of writing about the most mundane life in such a captivating way that you feel as if you were reading about lives of famous individuals

capyval's review against another edition
The format of the book, as far as I could read, consisted in Elena narrating episodes, in particular the ones that included a dear friend of her. Those episodes would involve a lot of people, and very little dialogue. There was some violence and gore in those, although it was moderate, ultimately they didn't depict a very happy life. This is not the content that I'm looking to read right now, but anyway, I don't think I will give this book a second chance in the future because I find it very boring and tedious to read.
Moderate: Blood and Violence
