I thought I would love this book. But I had a few problems with it. I didn’t like the sexualisation and rape. I understand that there’s a big reflection of our society and gender norms. But I was a bit disappointed, in a way I’m having a hard time articulating. I thought the POVs were well picked. 
I loved the last sentence of the book.
