God this book. Stab in the heart much. It’s somewhere between 4 and 5 stars because I found the ending a bit rushed but I feel like it needed to be. Like we’re not allowed to see much of the true open love between the June and Jayne and their mum. Like it has to be this I love you/I hate you, I’m going to help you but I’m going to hold it against you but we both know that I’m only doing that because I don’t want to be vulnerable. It’s very good and hurts and the most true portrayal of family I’ve ever read. This is what family really looks like.
