it was v difficult to get into at first but with the pages i found myself not wanting to finish reading. it’s such a bittersweet book with the main character having to go through so much and having so much hope in her. she never stops working and hustling and she does it so effortlessly by recounting situations as if they were lighthearted, and she shows her emotions in the letters which made me love her character more because she sticks to her morals.
