4.0

beautifully written and worth the read but relatively fast-paced and short. it is written as a recount of events, the narrator being several years removed from what happened, so even though the story is heartbreaking, it didn't touch me as much as other books often do. it was interesting to read something in a different style, but  because of it, i didn't feel very emotionally invested. the ending was objectively devastating but it didn't come unexpected. even though it made me sad, it doesn't feel like something i'll dwell on for a long time.
