This just isn’t the book for me and that’s okay. Pushed through because I enjoyed the daughter and the migraine representation. Overall the story fell flat for me and felt overwhelming at the same time just with all the trauma and struggles- it felt like too much but at the same time just kept making me feel disconnected from the characters instead of helping me relate and emotionally connect. The format of this book was a bit confusing at times because it switches timelines quite a bit, I wish it had been a little clearer with some kind of chapter heading.
