I really enjoyed this. It was very entertaining, with a super interesting premise. It had enough hints to make it a solvable mystery if you tried hard enough but wasn't too obvious. The characters were messy and real, I hated them at some points and loved them at others. A super well thought-out plot, every revelation left me shocked. If anything, I did find the tongue-in-cheek fourth wall breaks a little grating at times, but by the end that was easily overlooked. I also wasn't fond of the romance; it was just a nothingburger

Honestly, this book was depressing me. Might pick it back up later. It's also mainly just statistics; while of course very important, just not really engaging. 

sometimes I want to shake people by the shoulders and tell them kissing westerners' feet won't make them care for you

I can't put my finger on exactly why, but I felt pretty much nothing reading this, I was just going through the motions. It's not exactly a boring story, but somehow I was bored anyway.

A beautifully written book. It starts off confusing, and then gently, bit by bit, the truth is revealed & its such a satisfying payoff.
