I loved this story and found it immersive im the most satisfying way. Initially I thought it was strange how drawn out the first part of the story was relative to the rest of Vivian's life, but it ended up working. There was only one thing that bugged the heck out of me, and that was the use of, "Angela" in a way that interrupted the flow of the story. It was obvious the protagonist was speaking to Angela, it was aggravating how often she was unnecessarily addressed.

I really enjoyed the first half of this book, but I found the pacing of the book overall to be odd. It seemed to me that the first half of the book should have been the main focus, as the rest seemed to be an afterthought and one long summary. Why spend half the book on a two or so year period, and the second half on decades? In any case, I really enjoyed the writing and the characters.
