4.0

This book portrays how hard it's for a person to acknowledge that the one they love is not worthy of their love. The protagonist has gone through a rough life and seemingly has no one reliable in her life, what makes me attached to this story is that she even needs to contemplate a lot on what is her rightful surname at the end of the book and is in an existential crisis. Something that seems superficially normal and simple is not always what it's meant to be.
