Things We've Lost and Found by Ally Williams
3.0
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. I liked the authors writing and felt like she put a lot of care into some of the delicate subject matter. A parent with dementia and some mention of a SA of a side character were handled with a soft hand that did not shy away from the material. I also liked quite a few of the side characters.
My main critique was of the depth of the main characters. I felt they were a bit flat with the exception of a few bright spots through the 300+ pages. I think a lift at the end with a big bang of a grand loving gesture would have helped but it felt rushed and left me a little unsatisfied. I would have additionally liked to have her relationship with her best friend explored more after a betrayal.
