5.0

an absolute must read. the story packs such a strong punch for only 200 pages, and so much casual diversity in its handful of very well developed characters. this is the kind of book that makes you think writing must be easy from how naturally beautiful and wonderful and fantastical it reads, until you realize how much work it takes to reach that point. something to be taught in schools, for sure, bc it holds so much promise and so many messages layered into itself. i'll be thinking about this book for a long time after.
