I wish we got more of Leah’s perspective and had more explanation on what happened while she was gone, and I wish we got more explanation at the end of what happened to the place that Leah worked for (I think they called it the center or the institute?) and if they were involved or
why they shut down their website and their phone lines
. I overall enjoyed the book and I appreciated being able to read both Miri and Leah’s perspectives of the story. As someone with pretty severe anxiety, I found myself relating to Miri often.
