Did anyone find it a little hard to decipher what age key characters were ? Eddie reacts to 'Bella' as if she's 63. But she's actually the same age as Frankie. Then in the past timeline, Cora is hanging out with all these teenagers, and it's noted "she was a little older" but if she has a kid their age, (even if she had him at 15) that would make her into her 30s ?

Jessica I got confused by the ages too but finally figured it out. Eddie was 4 when Bella was 16. At 19, a 31 year old Bella would be an older woman to Eddie.…moreI got confused by the ages too but finally figured it out. Eddie was 4 when Bella was 16.

Bella having an infant child comes up throughout the book, but I don't think it's mentioned whether or not Bella has a partner/who the baby's father is. I was expecting that reveal to be some part of a twist ending but it seems to just be a dead end...kind of weird for a red herring, but did anyone catch something I missed about the baby's father's identity?
