A very emotional ending to Kristina/Bree's story. This was so well written and actually made me tear up a little. I felt so connected to the characters and watching Kristina's downfall was so sad. It truly felt like the end of an Era.

i forced myself to finish it and honestly the ending was the only part i liked. i just didn’t care for this book that much. i was hoping to read more of kristina’s perspective but i mean i get why they chose to do the children’s perspective. i am a child of an alcoholic and it is important for the children to be heard. i just didnt find myself wanting to pick it back up to read, which is why this one took so long. the 3 different POVs were getting confusing and it just felt kind of repetitive.
