Charming and emotionally heavy story. The reader can easily relate to child MC through the struggles and the need to rebel against their mother's overprotectiveness and need to prove herself as a better mother than her own mother, who means well, yet is almost suffocating them.
In spite of that, she remains one of my favorite characters due to how complex her character is. I love how she never reveals her fears and vulnerabilities whenever MC is around, putting up a strong front so her child always feels safe.
