The author does a great job of bringing her characters to life by their little mannerisms. I've not read many books where the characters felt so real.

Very interesting read

The only thing that icked me was the YA-ess of it, -sometimes it was a bit cringy- and the very subtle misogyny against Iesa (slut-shaming)
