2.5

Everything happens in the last 1/4 of the book, and it is so hard to read - the book is comprised of vignettes that frequently shift between perspectives and time periods, I struggled to follow the complex and interesting emotions and experiences of the characters because as soon as something happened it would swap to the other character 10 years in the past!!!!
