I tried my best  to think about this book and  what I think about it but in general i know i didn't hate it hence the 3 stars but  also i know that i didn't love it that much ,i liked casey and i loved reading her thoughts and feelings but what made the book so dull to me was the excessive descriptions of places and things ,after some point i start reading them very fast without trying that much to focus on every single thing and imagine it and that makes me feel bad cause i liked to swallow every single word of the books i read and to drown myself completely in a character'  inner monologue but i dont know why i struggled to enjoy that in this book,it was also a bit confusing at some points and hard to understand her decisions and thoughts but again im willing to day that it couldve been because of me rushing with it sometimes(could be adhd :})
Also depsite finishing it fast and reading 100 pages a day i still felt like it was long ,like it all was dragged up a bit too long 
Finally ,i can say i liked the book ,would i remember it so dearly in my heart ,no ,would i reread it ,also i doubt ,unless when im older and (hopefully not tho )i feel like i could relate to her more ,its like someone you meet at a party or smth and you like them and u become almost friends but just for this night and u know they won't have much more place in your life and obviously that is fine
++last also ,i really loved that the last scene contained the geese i like when a certain external detail in the environment of the story represents something more and become a big part of the story

I don’t think I’ve read a book that has made me feel this deeply in a long time.
