I loved Noemi. She’s fierce and bright and a force of nature. The author weaves this story well. I hate to say it, but I started to doubt Noemi in the middle. It got me too. The story gets a tad slow right in the middle, but the ending is like rolling down a steep hill. I was right on the edge of my seat. And most importantly, it ends hopeful.

Mysterious, but it kinda goes on for too long.

Also unsure of the intention behind the numerous times the "forced" lust was mentioned. It seemed unnecessary for how ambiguous it was.
