i love the design and front cover of this book. really beautiful and eye catching. i was hooked with the first glimpse of the book itself and the blurb. i love stories about young women and them finding themselves and encountering and overcoming problems. this book has real sustenance to it. i love the aspects of it being about mother and daughter, and things coming in between that. i love the dramatic aspects of another character going missing. i love the setting and the detail which was put into all of the characters. theyre meaningful characters. not just random names there for no reason other than to fill a hole. they have tangible personalities and you feel like you can relate to them all at times and can see yourself and other people who you actually know in them all. this is a really lovely book with great attention to detail in character design and story layout. easy to read but keeps you wanting more. love it.
