A gut wrenching, complicated, hopeful, heartbreaking love story and reflection on the tensions between love and morality, the affects of abuse, and complex family dynamics. The pace and nonlinear structure gave reflection on the impact of certain life experiences. At first, I wondered how the storyline could fill so many pages but by the last 100 pages I was longing for more in the best way!
