Strengths of the story:

The most fascinating thing in this book for me is that it dose not have a main problem and solution it just follows the main characters life there problems and how they survived them.

Weaknesses of the story:

My least favorite thing is that there where things that the author glossed over and could have explored more in the book like how there was a point in the book where Marianne has a eating problem but it didn’t explore the problem in as much details as I would have liked.

My opinion of the story:

I loved this book so much I loved how I could relate to this book and it’s characters because they where flawed and not perfect in every aspect I loved how these characters had growth in them so I felt there growth through out the book because it’s set through out a couple of years.
