This is between a pick & a so-so for me. The story moves slowly as you get to know Alice, her brother August & their parents. Their mother is always disappearing and the children are damaged because of it. The book focuses on the relationship between Alice & August, and how their family dynamic affects them both. It‘s a sad book, but also encapsulates human resolve, the importance of family & our ability to overcome & ultimately forgive. ⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
