Highlights
Quality
I loved imogene’s voice and found it to be completely authentic to that of a teen girl.
As a lover of books that are impossible to peg in one category, i truly appreciated the originality displayed in these pages.
After all this time and desperation, the gaping hole in herself where her mother should have been, imogene kind of just…shrugs.
This is a book filled with so many shifting layers and depths.

One night her mother just packed her suitcase and vanished, only to have the divorce papers delivered a few weeks later.

I am obligated to do nothing more than feel all my feelings and then close them up and put them back on the shelf to be taken out and revisited like any familiar story that feels safe precisely because the ending never changes
