Count the Ways

The narrative spans several years, giving a panoramic view of the characters' lives. I wonder what inspired the choice to tell the story this way and how it affected the emotional flow.

The way relationships evolve and sometimes fracture felt very real to me. I’d love to hear if others connected with those moments or found them difficult to read.

The subtle details made the story feel intimate, but I’m curious if that was a deliberate choice to highlight the importance of small gestures in family life.
