I loved the Canadian representation. A thought provoking book heavily focusing on three main characters (a mom and a set of twins) and their lives and relationships while separated as well as the complicated reunion. Slower pace but so worth the read.

It felt a little slow getting started, but ended as a beautiful and magical character study of a family of complex women. The descriptions of food left me drooling!

This book has everything! It's magical, weaving, and full of grief and yearning. It's gay, sexy, and deeply invested in sisterhood and family. This book is healing. 10/10 recommend 💫
