If not for the fact that it was a very very slow burn, I would have given this book a perfect score. The final chapter was such a phenomenal conclusion to the deep reflection done through the story. It almost feels good knowing the despite acknowledging all the negative facets of her decision, she takes a chance on herself and on the positive. Some might say it’s selfish but I would say it’s a burst of confidence she needed to find. Lovely.
