i am so conflicted on whether i like short stories or not because sometimes i love them and sometimes i feel like they are very rushed. this one went by SO fast and sometimes when that happens and the character is meant to have changed so deeply and fundamentally i feel like ive only skimmed the surface of it because it all happened so fast but other than that this was good! not something i would pick up on my own but my mom begged me to read it so i did. the writing was really good and i loved the setting of course
