I kinda want to read it again. This has made me want to read more by the author, and be more open to books like this. It's thoughtful, emotional, well written....yeah. Lots of good stuff. So much to appreciate. For the length I did not feel like anything was shallow or underdeveloped, it was not like some novellas that make you wish they were longer. This was impactful and as long as it needed to be. It is worth reading, definitely one to try if you get the chance.
