_Favourite Quotes:

“think it’s time I figure out who I was meant to become before I started living my life for everyone else.”

“I wonder if humans are the only living creatures that ever feel hollow inside.”

"I’m content with the direction in which my life is headed, and I know if I obsess over the past, that obsession will only serve to anchor me in a place I am more than ready to move on from.”

“You’re a sacrificer. I don’t even know if that’s a real word, but that’s what you are. You do things you don’t want to do to make life better for the people around you. Like being the designated driver. That doesn’t make you boring. It makes you a hero.”

thoughts: It was a bit weird jumping from the Mum to the daughters POV in my opinion but you could really see each of the perspectives of the characters. The plot twists in this was unexpecting from my POV anyway.
