I felt that some of the side characters were a little underrealized (for example, Jordan, Wendy's best friend, felt a little underdeveloped) and it took me about the first 1/3 of the book before I really got into it. But those may just be my personal readings. Wendy's interactions with Peter sparkled, and I just loved the pair. Overall, it was a beautiful exploration of grief, growing up, and the impacts of familial loss on a family.
