I have to say that I really vibe with Nettel's storytelling style. This story is generally not something I would have expected to enjoy based on the themes but I found myself just turning pages and going along for the ride. The characters were pretty relatable, and they came across as fully formed individuals.

There's a lot of potentially sensitive topics in there (still births, difficulties conceiving, abortion, child neglect, domestic abuse, ableism). I don't think these are treated without sensitivity but if you're sensitive to that stuff do approach with caution.
