TW: there are scenes where the main character’s consent to sex is very dubious, i.e. she doesn’t really understand what she’s consenting to, and other characters take advantage of this. Something to be aware of!

I thought it would be a heavy read but not to this extent. This is borderline trauma port, except it's not even that because nobody is unhappy with their conditions, at least not for the right reasons.
The pacing and writing is actually quite beautiful but I cannot stomach the romanticization of forced child marriage or rape.
In a world where children are still being sold to adults for marriage, this story depicts it in a positive light and for that reason, I can't give this book any higher than two stars.
Also, for all the beautiful writing, there is a lot of crass language, if you're offended by that kind of thing.
