Ah, yikes. The discussion of suicide, but most /especially/ the second epilogue, was...cringey at best. Phillip’s entire character had great potential, but his treatment of his children and inability to listen to /any/ feedback or have /any/ productive discussion, was an extreme turnoff. Yeah, sure, he had a lightbulb moment and changed his attitude, but that happened way too late and wayyy too quickly for the book to be any sort of enjoyable or even tolerable. Poor Eloise.
