I really enjoyed the way that the narrator, Mary Jane, continued to grow while maintain her optimistic sense of the world. Her view of the world shapes that of all the other characters, and you as a reader. I adored the portrayal of Jimmy and his struggle with addiction, and how we band together with love to help provided more success in finding a way out of the maladaptive behavior. Her growth, love and acceptance is inspiring. What a great read. Highly, highly recommend.
