Yess!!
I agree,
To me it feels more realistic because the story doesn't straight up tells you what the characters think or want to say, a lot is left to be implied.
(Also anxiety with growing up etc..always very #relatable)
The children are on guard agaisnt Shuli yet don't want her to leave, it's endearing and sad.
This novel is so different from others...like u can feel the emotions from the story and they are so real that u can relate to it.
