It’s an easy book to read. There is little discomfort which is surprising since the topic is really heavy. I think that the book took the easy route: there was immediate forgiveness after reading the letter that Kenna wrote, Ledger fell in love with her, Diem had interest in getting to know her mom, none of the towns folk found out about Kenna before Diems grandparents, etc. The only hiccups were Kenna getting a restraint of order against her and the grandparents still being mad (which any parent would be). Most situations would not have worked out this nicely. It felt like each character went to years of therapy to get to the place where they all ended up.
