TW: abuse, gun violence, mental illness, infidelity, alcoholism 

This book was sad, not like I cried the entire book, just like a real life sadness that is hard to explain. The characters are genuine, real. I could feel the characters emotions, I could feel the emotions of the book so strongly. I was sad when the characters were, I could imagine the events happening in the book, happening to someone I know, a friend, a family member. The exploration of early childhood trauma, generational trauma, the faults of parents and how it forms their children, it was done perfectly in this book.

The story spanned 40+ years, and explored multiple view points and generations experiencing similar and different events. The story shows perfectly how certain things can form and shape who you become, and how just because you were formed and shaped that way doesn’t mean you aren’t able to change.

This will be a book I recommend to friends.
