Once again, it's a 5-star format with 1-star content/plot.
I loved the visual representation of relationships and the nonlinearity of people and their intersections. That being said, nothing particularly happened. It read more as an illuminated memoir than an piece of art. There were glimmers of a start of a story about displacement and war, but never touched directly. (And if the point was how indirect war and displacement affects people and relationships, that still could've been done more completely.) It was a super cool format, I just wish a little more was done with it.
