I finished this book very quickly and it was hard to get through the violent parts..but I enjoyed it. Lenu just wants to find herself, but also is conflicted with the need to fit in. Lila has everything she wants but realizes it’s not everything she wanted. I’m curious to see how they both meet up again.
