This review is the best birthday present ever! Thanks a lot for having shared your thoughts with so much detail (and for the kind words, obviously!)! I'm happy you resonated with the characters although you couldn't relate to the "wanting children" thing!
(And naming the child was important for bonding with him to prepare the last act -welp, it was at least what I had in mind-)
"A poignant and touching experience from start to finish", that would make a great headline! Thanks again, truly, that's really sweet of you!
