this book was a very, very wild and surprising ride :) I believe it tackled important topics (such as traditions, expectations, society, mental health? etc.) and was surprisingly very sex-positive, open-minded and not-so-surprisingly magical. Not a fan of the love story, but it does make sense and tells an interesting story.
I haven't decided whether I genuinely liked it or not yet, but it was such an interesting read and very, very unpredictable. I'm glad I picked it up hihi
