It can be hard to remember how all these characters are connected but its pretty easy to get back into it after a break. I loved learning about all their personal struggles while there’s the event of the whale in the background. Even though we are with the characters for only a couple days, we learn so much about them and their struggles. So much can happen and change in the span of a weekend. Rosealeen was my favorite.
