4.5

This book made me feel a way no book ever has before, like kind of icky and nervous but sad. I took half a point off cause it felt very male gaze-y and misogynistic in a way that made me feel sympathy for the female characters because of the way the author sexualized them. I enjoyed reading this book this book though despite the strange feeling it brought out in me.
