This was fine as a story but more interesting in how the conversations have changed and not changed in the past 7 years since it was published.

I feel like this book could have been way more. There’s a lot of ‘unfinished’ things, which annoys me. But besides that: it’s a ‘nice’ read, that makes you reflect on yourself and the society we live in.

Wow. I loved this book. It’s the conversation and the perspectives every person needs to hear. The characters are complex and thoughtful. Just well done.
