I respect the author for trying to handle so many difficult topics, but it also felt kind of stuffed from

I really felt for the characters and could relate to many of them at times, but it was tough to read.

Am Anfang hatte ich das Gefühl das viele Themen wie auf einer to-do Liste abgehakt wurden die momentan gesellschaftlich relevant sind
Auch wenn sich das Gefühl nicht ganz abschütteln ließ ist es eine schöne Geschichte und ich hatte Spaß das Buch zu lesen.
