Having occasional thoughts of drowning and dying, I kept wondering what there was underneath her exterior. She comes across as a strong and independent woman but is more fragile than people thought. As the story goes on, the main character is asked what it means to understand someone. She is at a loss and this question begins to make her question herself and her relationship with her husband and others. [4:50 PM] Avelys: I really liked how she questioned her core, you know? Like what does it really mean to understand someone? [4:51 PM] Avelys: Such a simple question [4:51 PM] Koala: haha. understanding someone is difficult [4:51 PM] Koala: but a simple question indeed [4:51 PM] Koala: like you truly understand your family [4:51 PM] Koala: but outside of your family?
