Stellar: a story within a story within a story. Zelu’s turbulent life and the way she was derided and even punished for skewering the expectations laid upon her was at times excruciating to read. Her family could be so damnably obtuse. The growing web of connections between the two main stories was an absolute delight, as was the final series of revelations.
Graphic: Ableism, Body shaming, and Grief
Moderate: Death of parent
Minor: Panic attacks/disorders, Xenophobia, Pregnancy, and War
