it’s weird - every book of Shamsie I read resonates with some aspect of my life. No, I wasn’t in college when I read Kartography, but I could relate like it was my life right then. Now, as I read this - no, no famous mother who disappeared, no double set of parents in my life—but I’m the same age as the protagonist and yeah, all daughter’s have problems stepping out of their mother’s shadows, no?
Loved it.
