This was hard for me to get through. The slow-pace and somewhat disjointed, stream-of-consciousness structure made it hard for me to get into the story and the characters' lives. There was a lot to like from this book as it delved into complicated familial relationships and all the sides of people you love that you don't always recognize. It was just hit-and-miss with poignant thoughts scattered in stretches that could barely hold my attention. ( )
