This book was definitely magical. Right away, I felt inspired to use excerpts of it in my classes in the future. Like the theme of the book, the narration was a constellation, which was interesting, but at times confusing. It might've honestly been easier to follow if I had read it and not listened to it. It was nevertheless a bittersweet story with loveable characters. I'm not the target audience, so I think there's an extent to which I just can't connect with some of it, but it was cool. I liked the ending.
