This book is so beautiful. It puts your thoughts, feelings and confusions as a woman in to words. 
This story makes you feel seen, not only the frustrations about womanhood, but also the dullness. The tiredness of it all. 
My favourite part was the dialogue between Natsu and Rika from page 312-317, it’s so good. You can even read that part without spoiling yourself, just to get an idea of what you’re about to read. 
A memorable story for sure. Love love love.
