I really really liked this.
Pros:
Pros:
- Creative storytelling, well-paced; I haven't devoured a book like this for a long time
- Incredible character development -- even minor characters are nuanced and three-dimensional
- Innovative plot and setting -- a perspective we don't often see
Cons:
- There was some pretty blatant borrowing from A Little Life, but I love that book, so!
