the characters and beautiful writing were definitely the best part of this book. each character felt very real and raw, and ng’s writing portrays that in an amazing way. however it was hard for me to get super invested in any of the storylines because there were so many at once. this book touches on a lot of important topics, and i felt that it went too deep in less interesting/relevant ones and not deep enough in others. still a really good book though, a very enjoyable read and almost brought me to tears at one point.
