It took me a minute to get into this book into really understand this family. There is a lot of building up of different events in this person’s life so that you can understand everyone around them and that took me some time. But once I understood her more and her father, I was really interested in where the story would go. I feel like the story is extremely relatable for people trying to get a job right now and take care of themselves and their family at the same time.
