This was such an interesting novel!
The concept was one that I found endlessly fascinating, but then the writing just kept me coming back for more! I really like how this book explores the concept of feeling like you have to disappear from the world then the struggle to learn and accept that you have the right to take up space. Additionally, the writing was quite delicious at times! The most interesting writing was when it made me feel like I was high just reading it, it was quite the experience.
One of the only things I wishes was a little different about this book was that at times parts/sayings could feel a little too repetitive. But, when they played out in the end it was still satisfying.
