four stars ! it was super interesting to see how each of the characters’ lives intertwined, but i definitely wish i read this in a physical form with a character sheet instead of audiobook because twelve main characters are quite difficult to follow by ear

Wow. Loved this. I am so attached to the characters and cried at the devastation in the end. Strongly consider for ELA 12 novel.
