So good. Characters were so real and believable. The Texas man was distracting and unnecessary. She wrote to so many random people it became a little confusing because there was no full circle moment
Doesn’t always have to be, but there were too many loose ended situations. Reader understands her character enough- no need to continue with all of the random correspondence. The ending was frustrating. Who were her parents? Why does she include having her dna checked to her dying ex husband? What was the relevance of this? I appreciate how the author allows the main character to be flawed to the point many readers may not even like her. That’s reality. If everyone knew all of the secrets and the dirty parts of our lives would they give the protagonist the benefit of the doubt? Would the reader be able to empathize with and still support the main character?
There were just too many unexplained moments in the end that felt frustrating. If it wasn’t important or didn’t matter then why did the author spend so much time building up to any of it?
