Did not finish book. Stopped at 53%.

Absolute miss for me. I forced myself to finish it, but the extremely problematic relationships in this book were a huge no for me. I truly cannot stand this book.

This book has such a cohesive storyline that it's very easy to read. From the beginning moments of Ester and Zahra's relationship to the end of the book, it all just flows. 
160 pages feels like nothing in your hand, but the story felt totally complete.
