I've been thinking and thinking upon what to even say in review of this book. I could tear this book apart and give it a 4-star. But the fact is that the book really resonated with me. I felt so much while reading this book. The perspective/narrative of this book created a beautiful case study of a family that felt real, raw, flawed, and heartbreaking. I cried several times while reading this book. And for that, I'm going to leave this as a 5-star read. Especially as I just keep thinking about it weeks later.
