Ok actually idk abt my rating bc i'm so mixed on this. Bc like some parts were so hard-hitting and emotional and i was like WOW but then also like.... everything is SO SLOW and also i did have to speed-read parts bc like it was for class & i was behind. anyway i think the depressing book girlies would love this. Also the ending?
Cop out sorry. Like Nyasha's breakdown at the end was so emotional and i was about to start crying at the library but then Dangarembga was like "ok the story's over <3" BESTIE.
anyway the sequels? we might be reading
