It can seem easy to rate something 5 stars if you’ve only got 30 pages to work with. However, this was a Rooney story that I personally thought was the strongest of all her work (to date; still waiting on Beautiful World to come out). Maybe what we need is a short story collection from her next.
Moderate: Death of parent, Terminal illness, Mental illness, and Adult/minor relationship
