*yawns* I'm sorry I did not enjoy this book, it was so boring for me. I was waiting for it to pick up even if I was already past halfway in but alas it didn't came. I also found the writing style confusing so I guess it was just not for me. Still I'm gonna think If I will give the author another chance and read TSCTW. Maybe yeah soon in the future :)

[ She hadn’t realised just how heavy her mask had been until she’d discovered what it was to live without it. ]
[ It’s a leap of faith to love people and let yourself be loved. It’s closing your eyes, stepping off a ledge into nothing, and trusting that you’ll fly rather than fall. ]
[ “It’s not always enough to go looking for the place we belong, sometimes we need to make that place.” ]
I didn't expect this book to make me tear up. It's about human connection. To be loved and accepted as we are. The things we do for the ones we love, just to make them stay. Finding place where we belong and feel belong. To be surrounded by people we can connect to and makes us feel home. The difference between people who are "nice" and "kind".
I've never been relate to a character than I did with Mika Moon.
