This book is really, really good. The end reminds me of Erdrich’s Future Home of the Living God. I recommend this to anyone struggling to continue moving through climate anxiety or generational trauma. I love a multigenerational novel. ❤️ This one packs quite a punch in just ~300 pages.

The main reason I rated this book 3.5 stars is because it is so heavy. I probably won’t read it again. I am glad that I did read it though. If you plan to read this book, just be prepared for a very sad, depressing subject matter. I tandem read this with a lighthearted romance novel to keep myself from getting too depressed.
