I’m conflicted with this book. I think it was really well written and I can tell the author put a lot of thought and effort into telling this story, and it does have a really important message. However I think the ending came too suddenly, it’s just felt like a magic switch and I didn’t feel any emotional response when I know I should have. I personally think the mother needed some more character development before she got to that ending.
