This book is beautifully written but something’s were a little repetitive. As a reader you are drawn in the minds of these characters. Which is super charming but at times little happens. This made that I could not read for longer periods of time. When the end came I guess I was a bit distanced from the book and its characters.

A beautiful exploration of love, grief and forgiveness. This book was perfectly inspired by Little Women without being a modern-day rip off. My only critique was that I wanted more. I would have loved to hear from Cecelia and Emeline’s perspectives to truly round out the novel.

This  slow-paced novel tells the story of a young man whose promising basketball career is cut short by a knee injury, leaving him adrift. Combined with a cold upbringing and lack of direction, he struggles to find his place in the world. His personal crisis sets off a chain of events that deeply affects his in-law family. 

At its heart, this book explores themes of family ties, sisterhood, loyalty, and betrayal.
