I was thinking as I was reading it that I really loved it, the writing and the story, but I didn’t totally get what was a big deal about it. I had to google it afterwards only to realize that I failed to pick up on a pretty major reveal 🤦🏻‍♀️ sometimes I think I’m too dumb for ~literature~ because DUH how did I miss that!!! I even noticed some of the details but didn’t put things together! After googling though, it was like, OH, wow, that was pretty great actually, even though my apparent bird brain missed it.

If you’ve read this one, what did you think? Apparently it took the book world by storm a few years ago. I kind of see why - it’s pretty neat. I can’t say much more than that bc it’s something you have to let someone see for themselves (or not see and find out after by looking it up lol). I really loved this one in the end!
