3.5

This was a solid 3.5 ⭐️ but rounding up here because I actually really liked the ending. There are so many good take-aways from this book, like there’s always more to a person than what you see at surface level. And the importance of community and belonging. But the story itself wasn’t super outstanding or memorable for me. I’m excited to go watch the movie now though!!!
