This book completely broke me, made me angry, made me hopeful, made me sad..... and I loved every minute of it.
Books that can get such raw emotions out of me are my favorite kinds of books. I found myself lost in the story, losing track of time. The setting of Alaska is so unique, and it was the best setting the author could have chosen for the story.
The Allbright family is broken but doesn't want to admit it.
This story is told from the POV of Leni Allbright - Cora and Ernt's daughter. We get to see the toxicity of her parents' relationship through her eyes, and it will break your heart. But we also get to see Leni grow up and take life head-on. She's amazing and strong, and I am proud of her.
This story is whirlwind. It's an adventure. It's so much more than the depiction of a toxic relationship - it's about found family. There are lessons to be learned from reading this book.
If you've been putting off this book... stop it. You need to read it now.
