“Any story could be a comedy or a tragedy, depending on where you ended it. That was the magic, how the same story could be told an infinite number of ways.”

Plot … had so much more potential
So, I loved this but I also didn’t love this at the same time. I’m very conflicted. The potential was there, but the ending fell very flat for me. I just felt like I kept wanting more. Objectively, the ending was fine, but the time jumps became too much for me and some parts gave me the ick.
What I loved,
- the characters and the relationships between the main character and her dad & her best friend

to be honest, I had a little trouble getting into this book at first! I’ve read Straub’s “All Adults Here” and I like her writing, but there was a lot of description for the first several chapters and I felt like I was pushing myself to get thru it. Eventually, though, the major plot point rolled around and from there on, I was absolutely captivated. devoured this book in a matter of maybe 2 hours!! I think it’s the type of book that will make me daydream about it and play the “what if” game in my head with the plot.

This book actually had a really good story line. It just took forever to start. I would say the first 2/3 of the book is like 2 stars and the last 1/3 is 4.5 stars. So if you can get through the slow start it has a great end.
