this book took me a fair while to get into. i think the writing style was just different from a lot of things i’ve read recently. but once i fell into the rhythm of it and began to know the characters this was honestly a super sweet reflective read. also props to the author for creating the most absurd, specific but perfect similes hahah, although there were a lot of them i have to say :0 but yeah cute ig, really loved the characters a lot
