I absolutely loved this book which for some reason I hadn't really expected to. I enjoyed the writing style and the multiple stories that are told throughout. I think that the time jumps also helped keep me engaged because it allowed the author to include a significant number of relatively major events and character development.
I also wasn't sure how she was going to reunite them in the end (or even if she was going to) but I thought that the way she brought all the characters together was really beautiful. Obviously you can't erase the events that occurred but I thought it was a very hopeful ending and shows the capacity for healing relationships that felt quite natural in the book.
