Shut Up You're Pretty by Téa Mutonji

The Deep Sky by Yume Kitasei

I felt like there were parts of this book I endured, and parts I enjoyed. 

I don’t hate that there were shitty imperfect people in the story, and the main character was so uncertain and eager to please that it was both second hand  embarrassing and painfully relatable. 

I finished this book a few moments ago, perhaps I will come back to this review in the future work more cogent thoughts, but at the moment I’m both glad and sad that I’m done this story.
