Honestly after the first pages I thought I'd hate this book. I don't usually like books with this kind of style, vibe, whatever you want to call it. 

But for some reason I was really drawn in by Trina. In so many ways she feels alien to me, but also very very relatable. 

I got very invested in all the little elements of this story. Nothing ever really feels explained, like a Miyazaki movie, but in the end it comes together. 

I cried a lot reading this book. 

I think I would have given it a five if I wasn't briefly worried about the eventual end the book came to. It did work out but I kinda thought it was turning into a dystopia at one point.
