I listened to the audiobook (for time's sake— had to finish it in a short amount of time for a book club meeting). So fair warning in case some people have varying opinions depending on what medium they consumed the story in.
I find that there are a lot of unanswered questions, which I suppose is kind of the point of the book. It's impossible to go through life (especially adolescence) with all the answers. Martin's play didn't even have all the answers as to whether the male and female characters were related or lovers.
I would've liked to learn more about Sarah's pregnancy. I enjoyed the book most when it was from her point of view. But I think pregnancy was an interesting way to connect Sarah to Karen, and then to show us even more about them through Karen's daughter.
Overall, I did enjoy listening to this book, and it kept my attention, but it isn't something that I'll be thinking about for days and weeks to come.
