So hard to review: I truly think this novel spoke about so many pertinent complex themes and certain pages captured those nuances so well. At the same time, the middle of the book got a bit repetitive and by the end I wish we had seen more of Jane’s life because it was those moments (ie: Ruby’s birthday) that made the thematic elements so rich and compelling.
