The story is so short but it's like buying an assortment of donuts in one donut box. You get to enjoy all of them even if you wanted more. I am also very fond of the theme that it's women looking out for other women in this world. We have each other's faces, etc.

This book is unlike anything I've ever read. Nothing happens, but I was on the edge of my seat and thoroughly enjoyed it the whole way through. The characters have all gone through various intense traumas and they just cope and get through day to day life. They way that they interact with each other and with the culture around them is heart-pounding in the worst ways. I want so much for them and their futures. But I also kind of like how I'll never know.
