I was surprised by my reaction to this book. I expected to enjoy it and I did. I wasn't expecting to spend as much time as I did thinking about the characters. I was a bit fascinated by the personalities and how life circumstances affected them. It's a book that will have you seeking other readers to discuss the story, the choices and the ending.
Moderate: Death of parent, Grief, Sexual assault, Child abuse, Miscarriage, and Cancer

i think the author spent a lot of time describing and writing about unimportant things, and the times where she did have to describe important things, she wouldn’t. the ending felt rushed but it was still a fine ending.
