I know why people love this book... because of Divina. She gets five stars for sure. Hannah and Penelope were great too!
But there were 3 characters that irked my bones - Marie (the mom), Brendon (the son), and Leo (the dad).
- Marie: as a former CFO, you would think she'd have a little more pragmatism - but nay. She jumped to every single conclusion and was so annoying about it.
- Brendon: like I get you have a shit ton of trauma but your selfishness was yucky.
- Leo: you were a damp, soggy, wet noodle. Sure, you had moments of heroism, but mostly, you just existed.
And for a book about coping - they really didn't talk much about their late daughter and their feelings.
