5.0

While Lily's shy & sapphic coming-of-age story is so emotionally & thoroughly told on its own, the passages about her aunt's and parents' lives alongside important events of the time were meaningful additions. Not only did these other details put Lily's challenges into a historical context, they shift the adults from being seen as automatic antagonists into well-rounded but still imperfect people.
