This was a slow burn. The pay off at the end was worthwhile but a slog to get there.
An editing pet peeve was how they handled the book within a book. The chapters of the book she’s reading, though the length of stand alone chapters, were imbedded within the actual books chapters. Which meant some chapters were 9 pages and some where 80 (I read on my phone, so maybe not the exact numbers in the physical book but the same ratio). They should have made the inner book chapters their own chapters since the chapters had dates/headings anyway. I divided up how many chapters I needed to read each day to finish and the wonky length threw it off.

The miscommunication between generations was heartbreaking but so real. How each person's experience was different than the intention, yet it formed their experience was so interesting to read. It's hard learning your parents are just people and this book really captured that heartbreak. This was a really sad one but I really got swept up in the story. The description of the scenery was incredible.
