a great example of show-not-tell, it says a lot when the reader can feel so touched--at times to the point of being speechless--despite the narrative being in 3rd-person pov, the tone being factual, and the writing not being flowery at all. the connections between all the characters and the intricacies of the time aspect still amazed me. i love this book so dang much.
while the problems encountered by the characters can be surprisingly dark at times, i appreciate how they all ultimately end on a hopeful note. w/ that said, it wasn't until i was nearly done w/ the read that i realized that this is a book i had unknowingly been wanting to write and waiting to read all my life. poignant, insightful, and miraculous.
