I appreciated the examination of gender expectations and how one's childhood experiences (specifically involving family) have a direct impact on adulthood behavior and beliefs. ...more

I love how well this is written, that there is no wasting time (the author gets right to the point without losing details), how different all the characters are, and the setting. ...more
