like after you finish reading this book you have to read the first pages again… trust me!

yeah, it was something… doesn’t really know how to feel about it though, kinda frustrating in some parts but it was getting better :D

All characters were so real! I hated them and loved them (hated more than loved…) at different points of the book.
I wish the X or — was real, even though I still managed to relate to Martha quite a lot.
Also, I know it was important for the plot but as someone who doesn’t want to be a mother, I was actually relating a lot to Marthas experience when it came to others judgment, so I was a bit disappointed when the plot unraveled.
