I’ve gotten to part 2 of the Leavers, and it’s gotten a lot better in the recent chapters. A few chapters into part 2, the perspective switched to someone else, and while I was confused about this at first because I thought we didn’t know who this was, it turned out she was actually Deming (Daniel)’s mom, Polly. Deming’s mom has been a bit of a mystery after the first few chapters, and getting to see some of the story from her perspective is cool. The story shows a lot about her life raising Deming and, at least so far, it looks like Polly liked to raise him. Even though it was tough, she decided to keep raising him. This is kind of confusing.

The reason this is confusing is because, in the present, Polly abandoned Deming. So, I’m gonna keep reading because I want to know if there was a real reason Polly left Deming. The book usually goes from boring to interesting and then boring again, but since it’s interesting, It’ll probably get a bit boring after I find out why Polly really left Deming, but I’m still going to finish the book.
