theme: a never ending scenes of envy, jealousy and seeking external validation from a girl with the same age as you.
I was just curious what's the top 1 of 100 best books in 21st century and why it's top 1. So, I went blind to it and gave it a try to complete my 2024 reading challenge. Even it started with an Index of *a bunch* Characters, it didn't help my little brain to remember who is what. I powered through this in audiobook format instead thinking it was just like listening to a radio drama series and just ignored the other characters apart from Lila, Lenu and Nino. It helped! I finished it while making my diamond painting. Yey! win-win. lol
Was I entertained? Not so much.
Was it annoying? 100%
Will I continue on this series? Yes. That fcking cliffhanger 😒
