I was confused most of the time, maybe I should re read it sometime in the future
Nevertheless, it was fascinating reading the thoughts of such a selfish, narcissistic, chaotic character.

They have a sort of meditating feeling, it’s nice going through them, like a journey
But that’s all, they have nothing else to say, nothing for me to remember and hold on to. It’s too simple but maybe that’s okay..

Maybe I just can’t stand the misogyny
Maybe I struggled empathising with the MC too much

The only thing that icked me was the YA-ess of it, -sometimes it was a bit cringy- and the very subtle misogyny against Iesa (slut-shaming)

Beautiful writing, brilliant story. Touching, hard, raw.
It deals with a very real problem, a problem as relevant now as ever. The consequences of capitalism, of greed, of money as a ruler are spread thought out this book.
If there is one thing to take away from this book is that solidarity and kindness will always be the weapon of the people. It’s at the darkest times, the people come closer, the people speak up, the people rise up.
