I loved this book. It took me a long time to read (life has been busy) but I literally could not stop thinking about it the whole 2 weeks it took to get through it. I loved the plot, I loved the dive into Candace’s relationships, I loved the critiques on society, I loved it all. I wish I’d read this earlier in the pandemic, and

I also wish we got a glimpse of what happens after she gets out of the car in Chicago. Like does she survive??? Does Luna??? Is the baby even a girl. So many more questions lolol

loved it nonetheless
