I enjoyed the uniqueness and nonconformity of this book. Definitely pushes against the barriers of society. It was a good read and well written. The ending though left me confused… I felt like maybe I had missed something. I think that must have been intentional, to encourage reflection, but to be it wasn’t as satisfying.
