(very) flawed people you cant help but root for. For a relatively wide csst of characters i found something interesting about each one. There is one character who’s chapters are formated differently and they were my favorites!!

also shoutout to the unexpected peruvian representation.

My new favorite book of all time. I feel like this book changed me in so many ways. The writing is also impeccable, which is always a great bonus.

i don’t usually cry reading books but i cried reading this one. it was a fucking journey and i lived every second of it. my heart ached so much for the characters and i really felt like i learnt a lot. and it’s so well written like aghhhh!! i’m not much of a re-reader either but i’d read this again.
