5.0
I think I really like the way Kara Thomas writes her characters and the relationships between them. Oftentimes, it's hard for me to empathise with the emotions in books, but I have no trouble with this author.
"Little Monsters" was a 5, "That Weekend" was a 1, and I didn't know what expect from this book seeing the ratings others gave it. Now I know that it's truly those books in 3.7-3.9 range that become my all-time favorites.
The story is sad and touching, tragic and sharp, hopeful and despairing. As a reader, you get to see pieces of puzzle slowly come together into one big detailed picture. There are so many threads, but the most enticing part of this book is family relationships, the magnitude of feelings that they can make you experience.
"Long Bright River" by Liz Moore and this book show the stories of feeling too much, and that's why they are some of my favorites.
