I have very conflicting feelings about this book. If it weren't for one aspect of the story I would've given it 4 stars (maybe even higher) with no hesitation, but the way the whole storyline surrounding Hani's friends progressed and eventually resolved(ish) just felt super unsatisfying to me as the reader.

This was such a pleasant surprise; I'm really glad I finally picked this up... even if it took me months to finish(not the book's fault, I just put it down for and then kept putting off picking it back up).
