I think this book had a lot of potential, I definitely see why so many people love it but I just hated Nuri the entire time I was reading the book. Afra deserves so much better than him. At some point the only reason I was even reading was to see what became of Afra and the bee. The end was pretty unsatisfactory, I was hoping for more and this book just didn't give what I thought it would. Forgetting Nuri and the shitty ending, there were pretty good plot-twists and it really made me think. I definitely recommend this book if you want something that'll make you think.
