Aiyana Marie"No one is victim or Victor. Everyone is somewhere in between. People who go around casting themselves as one or the other are not only kidding themselves, but they're also painfully unoriginal." - The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, p. 366 No person is all good or all bad. And loving people, or someone is a complicated thing. You can cherish people but that comes with the pain when they do something you find demoral or bad, something that hurts you. Or others. People are complicated, loving people through these complications is an uphill battle. I think our current culture of cutting people off when they aren't as we pictured, or aren't only all the good we know them to be is robbing us of having a meaningful and forgiving connection. It robbed Celia and Evelyn of years loving one another, together.

Aiyana Marienot everything is resolved at the end - Tamsens sealed grave, did it finally give the ghost peace. and Charlie, is he with his dad? will he see Laurel again? the end lacks those two components but life isn't always finished in a pretty bow and the book did a good job displaying that without making it feel like I lost something.
