I have complex emotions about this book.

From the first few pages, I sank into the narrative of the book. There was something so comforting and familiar about the writing. It made it easier to read some of the more difficult aspects of the book. However, as thought-provoking as this book was for me, I felt removed from the characters. This is not to say that there were not complex or nuanced, they definitely were; I just couldn't connect with them the whole way. I loved this book though, and will still be thinking about it in the months to come.
