It is just really good. It’s an easy read since there are so many things going on at the same time (there is no boring part) but it also made me feel so many different emotions. I really liked it. I got attached to the characters, I cried/smiled for them. I just really feel like it’s very well written not in a « classic book » (like Little Women, Frankenstein, Notre-Dame de Paris, etc) but in an emotional way. It was not beautiful but it was raw and I actually really liked that
