emotional
slow-paced

Character
Strong character development:
Complicated
Loveable characters:
Yes
Diverse cast of characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
No
While I liked the overall story of resilience in each of the main characters, the book was hard to get through. Many times the content was disturbing.
A non-content issue I had was the way the author would switch between 1st and 3rd person, past and present tense. It was clunky and hard to get through at times - particularly Kate's chapters which seemed to change from present to past at times in the same chapter. I wish she had just written all the POVs in the same format.
**The book as often graphic and disturbing visualizations of rape, domestic violence, and miscarriage. Discretion is HIGHLY advised.
