One sitting read! There was a lot in Lundy's childhood that I related to even though I didn't turn to rules in response. I loved the way Lundy's choice was presented- she could have been happy either way! These situations where you have to choose between 2 options and both are good but will change your life forever is literally my worst nightmare. I get paralyzed with fear not knowing which option is right. It meant so much to me to see that inability to decide portrayed with sympathy and kindness even along side a message of "you can't not choose".
