This book definitely hit many tiers of greatness that are difficult to achieve in a singular story—raw emotions, conflicting characters, and a meaningful plot. I could feel the author’s care and nurturing of this story through every word. Every detail mentioned would come back full circle to make sense in the end, connecting past, present, and future into a single thread. I will definitely be rereading this book later this year after I digest it fully.

celinechdh's review against another edition
reading this book broke me: it was so harsh and beautiful and sad and depicted the horrible truth, without covering any of it. the diff between the magical world of betty’s father, his connexion to nature, to realness and beauty, and the horror of real life was so wonderful
