This book broke my heart, and I mean that in the best way possible. As part of the target demographic for the book, I can tell you it's probably only going to appeal to us teenagers and maybe folks a little older if you're open-minded? The book has enjambment and loves using rule of three so that makes it's very digestible. Fair warning though: if you dislike minimalistic contemporary writing the writing style might annoy you but I can say as someone who doesn't particularly like Rupi-Kaur-esque writing—this is not that at all. These characters are complex and tackle issues that are way older than them. Also, you will love Gat. I know I do. This book is also great for someone who wants to get out a reading slump, it had definitely motivated to read more so that's also nice. Happy reading!
