The twist was better than I was expecting, but only slightly. I picked up this book because I have a very close friendship with my mom and I’m definitely glad I read this while she’s still alive otherwise it would have wrecked me emotionally. I didn’t love the characters as much as I wanted to, but I feel neutral/neutral+ with how it ended.
