I read this as a book club pic for the month and I really am curious to see what everyone else’s thoughts were about the book. The book definitely kept me intrigued and wondering what would happen next. But the characters really frustrated me lol. Each character has their own trauma and I had to keep reminding myself this book takes place between the 1950s-1960s. I think the author did well at highlighting each character‘s point of view. I also had a lot of questions about some details that never came back up. But I did wish the ending had a bit more or was wrapped up differently. Themes: grief, family, death, suicide, love, education, racism, education.
