This book was hard to pick up but once you got past a couple pages, you were in it :)
If you do not like broken up stories, like tiny paragraphs as it progresses; this is not for you.
I thought this was such an interesting tale from the perspective of the mom of the parents and then the boy of the two children. There was interesting parallels to the idea of lost children and our government.
The ending felt slow because they jumbled all of the worlds together to be one conscious thought, but it was worth the patience.
The ending was disappointing in some ways because I wanted more. I wanted another chapter of the mom’s perspective. But maybe that was the point since it’s about lost children.
Worth a read! :)
