- A diverse main character in whom you could find both inspiration and sympathy
- A compelling epic spanning decades that made me not want to put it down
- Apparently the author began writing this as a teenager⦠and TBH the writing was showed that at times
- This could border on torture porn. Every bad thing possible happened to Nori.
- As a character, Noriβs development felt stunted, then jumpy. I donβt always think she stayed true to her character.
- The end.

Also trigger warnings galore. Like everything that could possibly have gone wrong went wrong. Like truly a fucking tragedy this book is.
