I love the concept for this story (see summary). It’s psychological with just the right dose of supernatural that isn’t hard for anyone to understand. I like how the author chose to use a supernatural concept to basically explain what it’s like for the FL to go through an identity crisis in a way that’s both beautiful and intriguing.
Along the way, I realized it was much more than that, though. At first I thought well, basically she just has to learn that growing and changing is just a natural part of life. But then when I really thought about it, I realized that it’s not exactly the same thing because (not a spoiler: the info is literally in the summary): she actually dies before she can be reborn. It’s a whole different thing. Our sense of self gets fk’d up enough when we go through an identity crisis, but what she’s going through is on a whole other level. DYING before she’s reborn? Then having to wonder if you’re still you and coming to terms with that? No way it’s an easy pill to swallow and so we get to see her going through that journey.
Then add that complexity to the other equally complexed characters and it makes for a captivating read. I definitely recommend y’all give this a chance.
So I binged all 36 chapters today.
