1.5
This book took MONTHS to finish. I had no idea who the characters were besides Jaki and DD. It’s written in second person of Maali who is trying to figure out where the negatives are of his photos (as a ghost) because he doesn’t know who killed him. He has 7 moons to figure out how he died. 1.5 because the language was beautiful but I had to do audiobook 1.8x for moons 4-7 because it was just impossible to read.
