"I didn't know what to expect from this book, but I listened to the audiobook and it was very beautiful and loved the progression of this story. I read another one of Nina LaCour's books and it was a little slow, so I wasn't expecting much from this. I'm so glad I listened to it! Pretty short as well. "
"It was beautiful, but like did she die or just get adopted ?"
