Best one of the series for me. Captured the COVID years pretty accurately.
Having gone through 9/11 and now being 23 years later, seeing kids grow up without it being taught in schools, seeing how those who know what it was but wasn’t there to experience it can only view it as a point in time, makes me think it’ll be the same for future generations regarding COVID and that this book could help them to grasp a sliver of a semblance of what that period was like for many of us.
I think the book also did a pretty good job of capturing the essence of conflict lots of mothers and daughters, the longing of our mothers to be closer and the distance daughters need to grow into their own stories.
I still think William isn’t good enough for Lucy, but he is certainly devoted to her.
