Loved it, but I wanted better for Peter! I think I would have loved more of how Peter and Kate find each other and less of the difficulties of adulthood. Ultimately I think it was the correct trajectory but I guess I just really wanted a love story.

I enjoyed reading this book. If you like complicated, family drama this is the book for you. Definitely makes you think about the things that go on & the dynamics behind the walls of other peoples’s homes.

I liked this just fine. It seems like it might be a ‘me’ problem, but the hops ahead through time sometimes felt jarring and inconsistent. The portrayal of addiction and mental illness felt genuine to me.
