Nilai sebenarnya aku kasih 3.8
Aku lebih suka buku yang kedua dibanding yg pertama. Full review soon @ocaaarchive
It wasn't as relatable as the first book, so much like the author's own perspective while transcribing this book, there is a sense of distance even when reading her first-person dialogues.
This book is heavier, harder to wrap your head and heart around, but it's also very real. It reminds us that we don't need to justify our emotions, our depression, or even our weaknesses. We always have a choice put our focus on the greater parts of ourselves, which sit side by side to our perceived shortcomings.
