I loved Mr. Cheyna and Bettyâs perspective. Solo as a character fell flat for me- his unwillingness to hear his motherâs story was incredibly frustrating, and it didnât seem to make sense with the way he had been raised by her. The years of distance between Solo and both is mother and Cheyna were devastating. Soloâs story felt hopelessly sad for a good while, and as the book progressed, I was worried there would not be any sort of healing for him.
The big plot twist felt so cruel :/ I think it needed to happen with the way the story was moving but the way it didâŚ.WOW. Incredibly hard to read. The ending was also sad, but with a final move that to me, indicated a shared journey of healing.
