it physically hurt to read this book — my stomach was in knots reading some of these - very familiar, very real - scenes; i’ve lived through those scenes.
the only reason i was somewhat reluctant to give this five stars is because the ending felt slightly rushed, perhaps Ng intended it to be that way (have it be ambiguous and all). it was all left pretty open-ended and ambiguous which i don’t hate, but i still felt as though there could’ve been a tiny bit more development.
all in all, a book i really appreciate.
