Easy book to get through physically, but simultaneously never-ending mentally. The vague story-telling makes the specific circumstances Maria is in more relatable and imaginable for the reader. I cannot get over how much I love the formatting of this book. The story and characters never leave my mind. The only thing stopping me from rereading this atm is my assigned books for English.
