3.5

I'm settling on a 3.5 rating because I didn't love it. It dragged through the first third to half, and then only sped up because the structure went from covering several months to doing the highlights of several years. I spent half the book mad about Julia, or uneasy about her choices in relation to Alice. In the last third, though, that kind of went away. The ending was bittersweet but I do like how it tied the important things up while still leaving the reader free to imagine what might have come next.
