I was really drawn to this book because of the description. I am always interested in reading books about sisterhood and the themes that come with it. However, I just couldn't get into this book. The writing was very minimalistic and concise, and the writer let the reader put things together, which I really appreciated. It didn't feel heavy handed or overly done. However, I skimmed most of it because I wasn't very interested in the story/characters and the characters felt underdeveloped. I didn't really connect to the book and I didn't feel like the book was saying anything new or interesting.
Thank you NetGalley and Grove Atlantic for this ARC! Unfortunately, it just wasn't for me.

“no one will ever love your more or hurt you more than a sister.” The truth of that phrase is shown in such a beautiful way in this book. This a raw story about the messiness and pain you experience in sisterhood, family, friendships, and also about the effects of mental illness. It starts off with the girls at a young age and goes through to adulthood. Dealing with a family member with mental illness is hard and this story showed the raw vulnerability of that so well. I can’t wait to read more from this author.

The ending of the book was interesting but i did feel like too much time was spent in the beginning relationship and could have focused more on the “bigger” events that happened in the last 60 pages. I did enjoy the crisp writing style
