For the most part, it's like a wild attempt to make it seem as if it makes any sense, but the plot is all over. The two characters do not even have that much chemistry in the friendship aspect, so it wouldn't have been necessary to make the book in two povs as there is a disconnect for the emotional factor for the readers to step in and empathize with the characters, but instead the focus in the first part of the book lacked striking elements for engagement. It's a good thing that relevant issues were tackled, but it was more the storytelling that did not deliver, which was a disappointing read. It was still deep-rooted, and justice was not enough to suffice to even make something that'll pull you to read it, but it taught something: tradition is a scary thing, especially when you've been hardwired that your detrimental inhumane actions are fine, and the enabling was a reality slap.
