For what it's worth, this coming of age novel really resonated with me. I cannot pinpoint what exactly, but I appreciate the character coming into her own "a bit later" in the mid-20s and she makes such human mistakes. The losses feel real and the navigatio of friends and family feels so genuine. I loved this book and I can't wait to read more from this author.
