Life on the Refrigerator Door by Alice Kuipers

4.0

---

First time reading this, I gave it 5 stars. Second time, 3/.5 stars so I will average it at 4. I love the unique concept of how this story is told, but think it could have been executed more realistically. I think the notes left become a bit unrealistic with how detailed and frequently they are left. i.e., “I just got home and going to the store, be back in 10” - why not just tell your daughter that? I find it unrealistic it would be left on a note. I think the author could have played with leaving some of the story unwritten and having the notes left to more vaguely imply what happened IRL.
