This was a cool story of two people who are outcasted by society and their struggle to rise above their station and the various ways that objective screws with their heads and their emotions.

Truly an epic. Extremely immersive, emotionally devastating in the best way, and an amazing exploration of gender.

Okay so, I'm not going to lie, this isn't a very good book. The plot isn't explained well and certain small things were introduced throughout the plot but barely explained or touched upon again.

So, why 4 stars? Because I had an absolute blast reading this. I loved it. It may not be objectively excellent but it is a fun one.

This book was a great read. It was interesting and I had a hard time putting it down. But it was just so damn sad. 

I ended up hating both main characters by the end of the book but I guess that’s the point. The author did a good job of making us root for them even though they both ended up doing awful things.
