5.0

A beautiful exploration of a child's experience of parental divorce, as well as one parent's chronic depression. As always, King's writing is full of character and wonderfully surprising imagery, but all through language that is direct, accessible, and charming. Exceptionally rich and nuanced emotional complexity in every character.
