I think what didn’t work the most for me here was the writing itself, I just really didn’t enjoy it, and found the time jumps to be very abrupt and unexpected. The story didn't flow how I was expecting it to, but that might most definitely be a "me" problem.
I did really enjoy the story that was told, I think it was incredibly relevant and heartbreaking. I will say that I wanted more of Jeanne and Josephine, this is where I feel like everything was just very abrupt, we got so little of them before everything happened that I didn't really get the time to adjust and connect with them.
I felt like this was so much more Marie's story, despite how much of it was Jeanne, and I was really invested in Marie and her life, I almost wanted to just follow her point of view the whole way.
