This book was beautifully written and that helped it make up for what the plot lacked. I loved the exploration of family in this book, and exploration of abandonment. I do think Max was written in a bit of a one dimensional way and was definitely too good to be true in the way that Sammy described him. Overall it was very compelling as I read it in two days and the second half of the book was way better than the first. I cried throughout the second half and it had me reflecting on my own life as well.
