This book has many scenes with deep rich emotional experiences, but I struggled to care for or root for the main characters. 
This is a story about falling in love but isn’t a romance. 
I wanted the Creole family identity to be explored more deeply.

Lord these poor women - so many awful adults and so much unresolved trauma. I listened to the audio book and read pieces of it in hard copy too. There are parts of it that are very lyrical and lovely but also pieces that were just very frustrating.

A wonderful book where two women’s separate stories come together as one over a shared location. Each comes with their own struggles and complex issues that leads you to never take a “side” throughout the book. Beautifully written.
