I feel like I didn't enjoy this as much as I hoped, while simultaneously it did deliver for me. The last chapter was definitely the most touching and heartfelt part of the book.
I feel like I didn't have enough time to get to know Amelia before her mother's death or even her mother as a person. Maybe that was intentional to make the book resonate with everyone, so the mum wasn't given a very discernible personality, but this didn't help me connect with the characters & the situation as much as I would want.
Also the sex related things here were a bit triggering for me, but I do understand this is entirely personal.
