this book was such an interesting read. i found myself relating so heavily to the mc, her relationship with her peers and greater society are fascinating.

I love the main characters with my whole heart and the protagonist’s relationships (familial, platonic, romantic, etc) are very real and relatable. The dialogue is well-written, which tends to be a weak point for books like this, and all of the interactions between characters feel very human.
