really liked it

This takes the cake for most unique book I’ve read! 🍰

This book is small but incredibly intense. It’s a well thought out book and rather ahead of its time with its dystopian nature. I’m actually surprised this book isn’t way more hyped or even that it hasn’t been made into a movie.

Our MC is the narrator and it’s a cool experience watching her grow and learn and push herself further every day on her boundaries. I think that’s what makes her so admirable.

The ending, although vague, was ironic and very poetic. I absolutely adored it.

It’s a heavy read as there’s a lot of death and suicide and talks in depth about enslaved women. Make sure you’re in a good mental headspace before picking this book up.
