Fifty Words for Rain by Asha Lemmie

4.0

---

Fifty Words for Rain MAY be in the running for one of my top books in 2021 so far. It was gorgeous. I didn't want it to end. Nori's life was filled with sadness, hurt, isolation, and pain. She was not treated well yet learned to love anyways. The reason I bumped it down to four stars was the ending. Though it was a long book, the ending felt rushed. I understood her choices at the end and why she did what she did but I wish her life as a result of that choice had been fleshed out more. The writing was beautiful and I will be recommending this book to everyone I know!
