this might be a soft dnf bc i really wanted to like this book, it was enjoyable and i liked the different perspectives and aspects especially with the donut shop family the trans girl and a demonic pact, but unfortunately it had taken so long for me to even get to 40% and I'm, personally, dreading to keep reading that it felt like a chore and one of the things that threw me off were the many pov changes within every single chapter
I'm hoping i might pick this up again some time but physically, i think it's not helping that I was reading digitally

my dnf is misleading because it's not because i didn't like the book up to this point. i really liked the premise and what i read was great, i liked the little world-building the book has and what it's exploring and there's some nice quotes in here too, i just didn't feel the urge to keep reading bc i feel like i personally needed more emotional depth from the characters for this to work out better
but this is a cozy little book about starting your life anew and on your own terms and healing along the way and finding community (though up to the point i read the community aspect was quite little but still nice)
