Overall, however, I really loved Eunice, her strengths and weaknesses, the characters to whom she was attracted and gave her trust, and the path in life she eventually took. Rather than tying up every single story line, I would have preferred to be left hanging, and guess whom Eunice chose to love, in which way, and for how long. I also felt that, at the end, the author actually gave me too much information.
I believe the author gave enough attention to Eunice's character that this loss of words would not have led to a loss of character development, and perhaps I wouldn't have hit the mid-book slump I seemed to experience. I enjoyed the way the author divided Eunice's life - and experiences of love - into different chapters, although I expected more time to have passed between the sections of the book. This was a believable and interesting story, if overly long. Having recently read The Silver Star by Jeannette Walls, I imagined this as a more fictional and reflective account of the lives of those raised by mothers who were not ready for them.
