As someone who is an Asian woman attending a PhD program, this was such a fun read - the satire on academia definitely landed on me! 

Ingrid's character arc was so satisfying to read through, especially with her self-reflection and her relationships with the people around her! The ending felt so satisfying, and the way her character was written definitely made me care for her.
