This book was honestly a strange mixture of things for me. There were specific parts of this book that made me uncomfortable and in my opinion unsettling. But, overall, I think what made reading this book a one-of-a-kind experience. Specifically, the depicted relationship between mother and daughter. Mother-daughter dynamics are wonderful but incredibly complicated. I think that these relationships have another layer of complexity to them because this book takes place outside of the western world, where social dynamics between children and parents are different.
