I was very grateful for a little magical realism sprinkled in with Anita’s narration to her younger sister and the world she created to cope with unimaginable pain. This book will stay in my heart for a long time.

I think the issue could be that somewhere between 60 and 80 percent it feels very drawn out, followed by a hastier end.
Overall, the book is very engaging, and I'd recommend it - I enjoyed the character driven approach.
