4.5
I loved it. Loved it all. The writing, the characters, I learned stuff, I felt stuff.
I’ve gone for 4.5 because I just wish there was some more resolution at the end… I wish it went as far as one or both of the sisters dying, for there to be *an ending*. I don’t hate where it did end, with each character in a kind of happy place, but they all still have so much life left to live and I want to know more.
I’ll be recommending this book to everyone.
