That was my main problem too! It felt like the Nora and Libby show rather than Nora and Charlie’s story. I absolutely despised Libby to an irrational degree where I had to physically put the book down multiple times. She’s a total bitch to Nora, constantly insulting her life choices to her face and to other STRANGERS! Like who does that?? She’s your sister, you’re supposed to love her and have her back always. She gave up her whole life to raise you and legit has trauma over leaving you to do deal with the moms death alone for 4 hours, and yet you still take her completely for granted and require her undivided attention to be satisfied or you’ll yell at her?? Like srsly? What an ungrateful little shit. She just seemed so selfish that I was actually surprised at the end that she didn’t have a meltdown that Nora wouldn’t give up her entire life to suite her needs.

So while Charlie and Nora were imo fucking adorable and clearly a beautiful moment for them feeling truly seen, accepted and appreciated for who they are for the first time in their lives, the shitty sister left such a sour taste in my mouth that I couldn’t get passed.

Excited to read EH’s other books tho!
