Positive: There are some beautiful metaphors in this novel making use of water & nature.
Negative: It was painful reading a novel centred around a woman being tossed around by men. And I didn’t love the ending.

Enough time has passed that I forgot the movie. It is super interesting that a dude wrote this book. At times it is super obvious. Especially with talking about losing virginity and women’s bodies. But I was still intrigued and really enjoyed reading the book. I couldn’t put it down. Now I have to go watch the movie again.
