this was really thought provoking, especially after the pandemic we went thru for basically three years. very nuanced main character w/ a lot of depth & the way this was structured is honestly what made it work for me.
i think i went in w/ super high expectations so i got let down a bit by how it ended & how it played out overall, so there weren't that many moments that left me shocked or bewildered. i was kinda numb to the plot which makes me sound rlly psychotic but i truly didn't connect w/ it as much as i wanted to.
again, it was rlly thought provoking though, so i am interested in what else she has to offer!
