4.5

this is the first book since i read yellowface that i felt like i couldn’t put down. the story was perfectly paced and i really formed a connection with the characters. it was really intense and a lot to take in, but i wanted to keep going in spite of it. i’m reading a thousand splendid suns next and i hope it makes me feel the same way. it’s definitely not without its faults but it’s a great book i’d gladly read again
