I thought the dynamics between characters were insightful and felt true. This did feel like an honest portrayal of family trauma and all the complexity that goes along with that. However, and maybe it's because I listened to the audiobook version, I had a hard time following all the jumps between different time periods and places and keeping track of the side characters.
