I really liked this book. I started it in 2022 but only got about to finishing it recently, but once I started it again I couldn’t put it down. I think nora is a great example of a character who is flawed and traumatised but likeable, which is something a LOT of authors seem to struggle with nowadays. I loved the way the different names showed her growth as a person, and how she grew past what her mum expected of her at such a young age.
