I didn't completely click with this but there were definitely aspects I enjoyed. I found the story interesting and compelling but overall it was a little too literary for my tastes. The themes also didn't speak to me in the same way they would to someone creative or musical. I wish it had been a bit longer just because I prefer nice, neat endings but I can understand why Shraya chose to leave certain things unresolved. I listened to the audiobook of this and thought the narration was really well done, giving me a good sense of the characters. I really enjoyed I'm Afraid Of Men and I'll see definitely pick up more of Shraya's work in the future.
