it took me some time to get into it but when i finally did i couldn't stop reading 
it quickly became such an emotional read intertwined with the search of yourself in a world where you immigrated, finding a place in art, others, yourself, fighting for the beauty of life and so much more...
i also liked the writing style, how cyrus' pov was in 3rd person and every other characters was in 1st person, i liked that we were able so see so many different povs and were able to experience many different themes and issues that each character deals with
