A beautiful tale of two young women from different backgrounds learning to heal from the tragedy of their father’s death and hidden secrets. The relationships that all the characters share are incredibly realistic and it’s really moving to see how the two main characters heal from their loss due their own doing but also due to the interpersonal relationship with others. I also love that we see both perspectives intimately, it makes you understand their reasoning and emotions.
