I found this book used for 2€, and decided to read it. Such a beautiful book, with a challenging theme. Loved this, the things I found hard was to kind of see the switch between her and her imagination. I also have a copy that has ‘Hannah Green’ as the chosen name, which is cool despite the backstory.
