There was a reason Mom didn’t leave Dad after her one night with Leo, and that reason was love—love they were able to reignite when Mom returned home from the facility.
an actual criticism i have for this book is that the author relies way too much on telling rather than showing. like… passages like these are so clunky and makes me feel dumb as a reader because things like this shouldn’t have to be explained word for word but instead described and integrated into the storytelling so that it is understood by the end
