This book was boring.
Edit: I feel as if this review is lacking and I suppose I shall elaborate more about why this book was boring and my general thoughts.
The entire thing is filled with flashbacks. Normally, this wouldn't be weird and would actually be kind of enjoyable. But it was dragged on and on for many chapters when really, a few would be nice. I get that she's trying to build up sympathy for a family that just died in a car crash but it became tedious and hard to read those parts simply because I had this thought going through my head: “YES I REALIZE THIS IS WHY THE MOM IS AMAZING. YES I KNOW WHY THE DAD WOULD BE A MISSED PERSON. OH GOD WHY THE LITTLE INNOCENT KID?” The characters were flat, boring, and one-dimensional overall, because they had no flaws that were detrimental and it was viewed as this PERFECT family and PERFECTION = MORE EMOTION TO BE FELT FOR THEIR LOSS.
It was predictable also. Like why wouldn't she choose to live? You know what would have been unpredictable? Her death. That would've been interesting.
