I wanted more closure to this and really wanted them to reunite in the end 😭
That said, I did enjoy this. The beginning was a bit slow, jumping all over time and perspectives without giving much warning, so it took me a second to get into it and figure out where it was going. Afterwards I was definitely more invested but it just kept breaking my heart! So much love between all of them and just such misunderstandings and communication issues 😢. You could really feel for the characters though and I could relate to a lot of aspects in it. I was glad we got the Dad’s perspective by the end but it definitely brought some tears.
