Really digestible and the perfect length, the book and the chapters. The chapters are sometimes a little too short but it is all intentional and works really well for pacing. A coming of age story with some dark themes that is just quite lovely.
When it boils down to it, it’s a book about human relationships and the way humans are shaped and moulded by those we surround ourselves with.
