I have mixed emotions about this book. I was very hooked even when I had to set it down multiple times because of the subject matter, but I’m left with a feeling of emptiness. I have this feeling that the author was a bit careless with the subject matter and the story and trauma was more matter of fact instead of happening to real people. Yes I know it’s fiction but this is a very real subject. And ending with the POV of the dad I think does such a disservice and chops it up more to what if other choices were made around him instead of the very real choices he made. Perhaps my feelings will change the more I sit with this, but this is my immediate reaction upon finishing.
