I didn't cry but it's really sad, I'm telling you. And I was really angry at Allison's father—like 🤬🤬🤬 angry not just 😠😠😠. Like how can someone be as mean as that? It's just awful what Allison had to go through. And I loved the character arc and how Allison stood up for herself in the end. She has such a terrible life and to see her have a happy ending made me so sad-happy, you know? It's just so sad 😔😔
I also think the way dementia was written was great, and it showed not just what Marla goes through but the people around her too. How some people just give up when it gets too frustrating. I thought Lucy was gonna be Allison's friend, but I kinda liked how she didn't. Instead, you get to see a character who uses wealth to manipulate "lowly people" and thinks they can get away with it. Overall, awesome book, loved it.
