interesting story about siblings in their middle age after their mother has passed, and how all the secrets she’s kept affects them after she’s gone.
the main character was oblivious and helpless to the point of frustration for me, but in the end i became really sympathetic to her as we find out how she and her brother has been treated by their mother. the more i think about it the more i just wish she’d had the life she could have had if it hadn’t been taken from her. i think jeanie will stay in my mind for a long time.
knocked .25 off just because i was so frustrated the whole time lol but that was the point of the novel i guess
