Another incredibly powerful story from Serle, with an utterly realistic MC and a relentlessly unapologetic story arc. There are many emotions during the trajectory of the story, from giddiness to grief to despair to uncertainty. What I find so powerful in each of the books I’ve read by Serle is how captivating they are in their brevity. We get everything we need, when we need it, and understand how it all ties together effortlessly in the end.
