This was so good!! I read it via audiobook and I really enjoyed it. It was a real page-turner by the halfway mark, though just a little slow leading up to that point. It was a page-turner with an highly engaging plot, but it was also filled with deep exploration into the human experience and to systems of oppression. I appreciated the fact that the book touched on topics such as human trafficking and sexual assault, but did so in a way that I didn't find triggering to my own PTSD.
The characters were loveable and has satisfying character development, the twists weren't too predictable, and it had a strong empowering theme of community and found-family, all of which I really enjoyed. This is a book I want to purchase a physical copy of because I'll probably come back to read this one again.
