Wowowow!! What a read. I ate this novel UP! Which is so surprising for how long it is compared to my usually shorter picks. This was so amazing to read as someone who is bilingual and now spends 90% of my days in my native language as an English Teacher  back in my home country. I cannot imagine the research that was done to make this book a reality. WOW it was just so interesting and academic but also fantastical at the same time. I have so many thoughts that they’re all jumbled into having no thoughts. This was a blast to read and it pulled on every single emotion I had. UGH I LOVED IT!
