I’m torn. 4 stars? Or 5?

This book was wild and brilliant and fun. It was told in letters, and I was in a state of constant awe through most of the book. I only wished that Ella had been a bit more of an active character (especially given the blurb and the title—it kind of set expectations). While I love the theme of her just being another person, and how that makes her relatable, I still felt she could have been more active.

But this was fun. Like, really fun. It was pretty short too, so it’s definitely worth curling up with if you have a weekend! It makes you appreciate the little things in life—like z’s and q’s and j’s—and remember to not be so lofty when “interpreting” things no one can really know for certain. (Did I mention the religious critique in this? It was quite brilliant.)

Okay yeah, this is getting 5 stars.
