another brutally sweet novel of how and why relationships are made and broken over time
this novel is written for adults, but it has the same poignancy of
jellicoe road
people keeping secrets, running from their pasts, fighting to expose the truth
i love how we see the perspective of bish, rachel, noor, and jimmy, all adults looking out for the safety of the children in their lives
but we also see in bee, marianne, violette, charlie, and eddie that teenage essence of "we know better" and in some ways they really do
we all remember that feeling of bonding with other teens on a road trip, when everything feels possible and you're discovering who you might become
