My only qualm was
The message of the story is poignant and really has something to say about the nature of life and our place in it. The power we have to make our own choices and change our perspective.

I’m always a sucker for a mother daughter story, and almost wish it was even more prevalent. I did find the time jumping to be very sudden at first, there was a little lead up to it but all of a sudden Katy’s mother at 30 is there. But granted, I’m not sure how else you would introduce that twist.
Overall, a sweet book, definitely made me tear up a few times.
