Sorry English isn’t my first language
So I apologize in advance
It is incredible, I stayed all night reading this book. They are some heavy topics in this book but they are never full on detailed about it, I would keep this in mind if you are easily triggered about the tags warned…because those are the main one that are briefly discussed.
Another thing I want to point out in my rating about diversity, this book has characters with incredibly different backgrounds and personalities it’s magnificent but all of them are white if I recall, that’s why I put it’s complicated. It makes sense that they are all white but still.
Now positive!
I love how they brought actual historical events into this book, it made it feel more realistic
The whole ghost thing without spoilers is so juicy and sad at the same time. It keep me on my toes ngl, my dog moved and I would get startled
Some books can’t don’t time skips and changing pov but this author does an incredible job at it this.
The way there’s always sudden hints and foreshadowing in this book ties everything up in a beautiful bow
