So, I\u2019ll start by telling you right away: you\u2019ll devour this book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t be fooled by the page count, because it will probably keep you hooked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Partly, this is due to its structure, narrative technique, and style, which make the reading smooth and enjoyable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even though the story isn\u2019t light by itself, reading it gives you a certain distance without lessening the emotional impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was only around the middle of the book that it started feeling a little heavier, but just slightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The more I read, the more attached I became to Serena\u2026 especially after all the adventures she went through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This book has a deep story, full of content and symbolism \u2014 perhaps a little too dense at times, but beautiful for that very reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It immediately sets a dark atmosphere that it maintains until the very end, along with several unexpected twists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After all, it has a certain intriguing beauty (?).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether it\u2019s the themes it explores, the storytelling that drew me emotionally into Serena\u2019s life\u2026 or perhaps the darkness it hides \u2014 the fact is, this book\u2019s charm lies in its rawness and ambiguity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Almost like life itself (?).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In short, a book full of meaning that will probably make you reflect.<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\nP.S. It was really hard to put together a decent review for this book\u2026 it really has too much to offer o.o<\/p>\n\n\n\n
