Boa escrita. Excelente descrição das personagens.

didn't expect to like this as much as i did! i think i might like this more than little fires everywhere. celeste ng has a way of narrating her stories so that it really does feel like im watching a film in my head. i appreciated how complex each and every character was, although i did feel jack was a bit cliche. but this was a really gripping read, and i dont usually dive into this genre. the story parallels the strong writing style in LFE, and im glad i checked it out!
