i think this book is really about female vulnerability in a world that demands material worth
the only issue i have with coming to this conclusion more than halfway into the book is why this wasn't foregrounded a bit more at the start (or maybe i'm just dumb)

I hate to be that person, but I think that this book may have worked better as a short story. The main conflict feels like it's been dragged out a bit: simultaneously, though, the rest of the narrative works just fine in terms of pace, so I don't know what to feel.
