*4.5 stars
(triggers warnings at the end)

this is a very emotional book, i don't think i was expecting that but it was satisfying by the end.

i do have to say: nishat is much nicer than i could ever be. if i was in just half the situations she found herself in, i would be bitter as fuck- but i think that makes her very lovable, like, she was my favourite character.

there was the barrier that i did not see the consequences for those who wronged her were ever what they could've been, and it left an odd taste in my mouth, but hey, i'm not nishat so :( none of my business who she ends up associating with lmao
