emotional sad

Was an incredible look into how one tiny decision creates ripples for the future. Unfortunately it suffers from some stilted sentences, stiff dialogue, and suffers what splitting different POVs (or in this case timelines) can generally cause: some stories being stronger thematically and structurally than others. But, overall, really enjoyed it. Can be tough to parse at times, so be wary if you're sensitive to depictions of domestic abuse.
