4 stars for writing, 2 stars for enjoyment.  I think I just don't enjoy reading lit fic. It's mostly depressing, and this book was no exception. Don't get me wrong, it's extremely well-written and I could feel Razia's struggles. I guess stylistically my only complaint was the ending, which felt...unfulfilling.
