The characters kept getting mixed up in my head. I don’t know if this is because the author did a poor job of introducing them or didn’t make them unique enough. Or did I miss this in the begging and wasn’t paying enough attention? Definitely an odd book about an odd family.

“They hadn’t known how lovely it had been to be bored, inconvenienced, irritated, sleep deprived. How lovely it had been to be alive and able to ignore death.”

“Kids don’t realize how hard it is to be the adult, how courage doesn’t just show up, how life is actually more frightening when you’re older because the stakes get higher and higher. You love more and more people and also understand more fully how fragile and temporary they are.”
