 I loved the themes and symbolism. I felt myself nodding and relating along for the majority of the book. I wasn't sure where it was going for a while. I like the ending but this was also the part I felt was lacking. there was so much tension in the beginning and the ending was just "normal" so it felt a bit flat to me. lots of representation which I loved. definitely one of my favorites this year.
