This story is powerful. Val goes through so much over the course of the novel. I saw Jordan's plot twist coming just from how Val consistently underestimated how lovely her friend is, but also the bit of foreshadowing in their dynamics and body language. I actually like Jordan more than anyone else in the story! And I think that may be one of the points the author is making. 

The art is beautiful and the story is, as stated above, powerful and uplifting.
