It takes a lot for me to love a character in their 20s now that I’m decades past that season of life. I get impatient with them easily.

I loved this protagonist. The author shows all the layers of being a young caregiver but also wanting to be a young and free new professional out in the world - the emotional complexity and the family dynamics and the cultural complications, too. Wow.
