I loved this. It's a book full of people doing their best, caring about each other even when it doesn't totally make sense, but also a book that doesn't shy away from the realities and practicalities of existing in a complicated world where there are no nice good tidy options.

It did an excellent job carrying me to the end in a tidal wave, and I am SO MAD that the third book isn't due out for nine months how could she DO this to me
