Still in awe of finishing this book. I hadn’t expected the ending to make me cry a bit but it did. I love this book just as much as the first book. Sue Lynn Tan’s writing never not amazes me with her world building, characters, and leaving profound quotes that I’ll continue to think about forever. I’m super excited to keep on reading more of her works!
