4.5

(i keep rating every book 4.5 stars at the moment, help)

this was really good!! and made me cry which is always fun. it was a beautiful portrayal on depression and culture and everything in between. the focus on building platonic and familial relationships was really really important and was so beautifully done. the pacing did get a little slow at times though, or i found myself getting bored.

not much really happened so don’t read this if you’re looking for plot. the characters were beautiful tho :) 

and healthy sibling relationships for the win!
