I'm really not sure on the rating for this. I liked it, had no trouble finishing it. As I came to write a review ... how much did I even remember though? It's not one I'd rush to recommend, and  I didn't stop to make any notes while listening (I had a physical copy, and grabbed the audio and Kindle from the library ... went primarily with the audio).  Reading other rave reviews I feel like I SHOULD have been more immersed in it, but I just wasn't really. Thinking back on a few things, I feel like I didn't really get (the altering of the painting, why Greta would lay down in the woods, the "love" for her uncle).  Maybe a bookclub discussion would have made me appreciate it more, delve deeper? Maybe I was just distracted while I had this book going?  I read the Discussion Questions (included in the Kindle copy, with a Q&A with the author) and I really appreciate extras like that, but even that didn't elevate this as it sometimes does for me. 

The title tied in - several connections throughout the book. First person - June's POV. Past tense. Very easy, conversational tone. 

The parents were tax professionals, super busy during tax season. A reminder to myself that I need to gather all our stuff and get it to our tax guy. 

The look at AIDS in the 80s was an interesting reflection. I graduated high school in 1989, was involved in musical theater (like Greta). Was in Annie in the 80s.
