I feel that for a book about such a traumatic event, this one was very anticlimactic. I think that the main character was supposed to be relatable, but she came off as unlikable to me. I feel that, while this may be as close to the truth as we can get from an event that hasn't happened yet, this story didn't resonate with me.

I feel like this didn’t add anything new to the conversation and was all just generic advice.
