This was definitely s slower read and shows the whole nature vs nurture aspect in raising a child and if you are told something often enough you can tend to believe it. I did love the backstory with Minnie and Quinn's names and getting to see how they each experienced and saw NYE and their birthdays.
I adored the friendship between Liela and Minnie as well as the No Hard Fillings crew. That being said once Minnie's mom realizing the full picture with Quinn's mom the growth made me forgive her a bit.
There were also important mental health themes and stresses of being a caretaker and the toll it can take if the caretaker doesn't take care of themselves as well.
The miscommunication trope did drive me a bit crazy as well as the slow burn.
