i absolutely loved this book the overall message i believe is so important and was explained in such a great way that i rlly walked away feeling the heavy impact of this book i think that every aspect of this book is so important every scene and interaction carries a purpose which is great for theme building but also great bc nothing feels useless or like filler yk? probs my fav book ive read recently <3
