i love when character is written as bare as they could be. their thoughts: the positive, negative, everything in between, the hypocrisy. the premises are also written beautifully & some of them hit close to home. the book doesn't have spectacular plot as it mainly focuses on the main characters' thoughts, feeling and doing, but it isn't boring at all for me. the ending took me by surprise but i loveeeee it.
