The Impossible Vastness of Us

I think my rating is a tad high. The concept here is good, although it was easy to figure out Eloise's big secret, but the execution felt bland, and some elements that needed more attention didn't get the needed care.

Theo, Eloise's father, has actively worked to deny gay people their rights, not knowing his daughter is gay. This is something that fascinates me -- how bigots seem to never take into account the poison they're pouring into the ears of their children. I mean, I know we're supposed to see Theo is a good guy, and I appreciate the nuance, but then let's explore his working through his reconciling and working through his issues with his daughter's identityI would have also, in a more frivolous sense, liked India adapting more to extreme wealth instead of rapidly taking it for granted. Think of all the books!!!! Oh, and clothes too I suppose. And opportunities.

Anyhow, while I enjoyed the story, I felt very little when I would expect to go through a lot of emotions.
