Yes, I would recommend the novel to others.

Explanation:

I would recommend this story as I found it very honest in its content and the narrative style. It discusses the importance of the difficult situations and the confusions in life. It gives different life lessons about the loss and the self-identities. The first evidence is the loss of two significant people in the life of the protagonist. Another evidence is where she feels why her mother has left her and deduction of the ways to keep the people she loves in her life.
