would totally give 5 stars if it wasn't so...confusing? definitely got the hang of it after the first few chapters, and my confusion def is a Me thing and my comprehensions skills. but it takes a minute to adjust to emezi's writing style. after u get it, it is smooth fucking sailing from there. this is a BEAUTIFUL novel. genuinely couldn't put it down.
