I've always enjoyed reading a story with a static clue that twists and morphs throughout the story, just as the journal did in this book. The context and meaning of the journal entries and drawings shifted as the story went on and as Olivia began to understand her mother better and better.
I do believe that the story ended a bit abruptly and could have used a bit more at the end.

Olivia is a fun character to get to know—passionate and stubborn and a little mean.
I don’t love books written in the present tense, but it’s not bad here.
