What a gorgeous, heart-felt book about family, grief, expectations, and what happens when we feel we can’t meet those expectstions. I loved the portrayal of the relationship between Val and her mother, how it can be so so complicated. I kinda wished the ending was a little less open-ended, but overall, it was still a wonderful story.
