I’ve seen this book described as a “thriller”, but I wouldn’t call it that at all. I enjoyed this book, but I’m pretty sure anyone going into this book expecting a thriller will be really disappointed and bored. It’s well written, heartbreaking, and bittersweet. Some of the chapters probably could have been a bit shorter, but I overall enjoyed following the life journey of the characters, as sad as it may have been, but I wasn’t exactly on the edge of my seat waiting to see what happens next (and the “mystery” is pretty obviously solved in the very early chapters).
