as i was reading, i wasn’t sure if it was going to make it to a 5⭐️ rating. but the fact that i looked up an analysis after i finished reading it bc i loved the book sm meant it was def 5⭐️ worthy. an interesting book set in an interesting time period. still wondering if the crack in his skull was literal or figurative (pretty sure it was literal). def a quick read but super introspective so i feel like u could read it multiple times and uncover a new story every time!!
