Maali was… not a good person but he tried to do right by his family in the end, and i really liked him becoming a helper. DD… I’ll be honest he pissed me off. The entire time he’s being skeptical & unhelpful while Jaki risks her life for their friend/lover… his dad literally had his bf murdered and he just ate it up & got a WHITE boyfriend weeks later… their relationship was awful but still YIKES.
Sena… what a bitch boy.
The ending was a bit sad but hopeful, I need to think on it more.

This book is very satirical as well and was definitely super funny and sassy which I lived for!! It did read as rather slow for me though, personally. There are definitely moments of conflict that are helpful, but I found myself inching through at times.
I love how this book really makes you think though—the irony in the idea that so much of what guides us through our lives is the wills of the dead really made me think and I thought it was so clever and also awful 😂 in a good way though! This book is very reflective and Maali is an anti-hero who transforms in wonderful ways through this story. You root for him but are also like WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!? And I looooove Jaki, his best friend.
