i had a hard time connecting the stories but after analysis a lot of the little details come to light and it’s very intriguing to me how everything is connected. this book is for a specific audience but can emotionally impact anyone. it makes you want to tell your mom you love her and learn her entire life story :( the characters all have their faults but that’s the point; this book is meant for reflection.
