It was good but I'm not wow-ed. I found the ending too abrupt. There's also too many flashbacks about the parents. Aside from maybe giving some historical context, I have no idea what that flashbacks have much to do with the story.
Another reason why I don't love this is the shallow characters. Aside from maybe Lily, we know little to none about the others. Kathleen especially just felt like a supporting character to Lily's story. It doesn't feel like their story together. Kath is just, there. She's very generic and her presence is forgettable.
