i don’t really understand the point of this book tbh it didn’t work for me in the class critical thing people say it does.
it seems confusing and the author doesn’t really know what some of the terms she uses mean.
Was not satisfied with anything in this book. The only thing i liked was how ava thought about some things because i felt like i could relate to some of them in terms of her relationships and her being a bi woman. Other than that it was a boring ass book.
i didn’t really connect with anyone. Don’t care about edith and ava’s relationship (i kinda care about ava and julian’s friendship at the end). Overall things just seem very superficial.
Someone pointed out how the book has some racist undertones and i can see it: just a bunch of ole white people in an asian country for no reason, being condescending about locals and, at times, disrespectful.
