  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes

4.5

A raw, moving, well-written multigenerational novel with complex characters and realistic family dynamics. 

The story pulled me in from the first page, but towards the end I felt less connected to the characters. 

I found myself wanting to return to the POV of previous family members rather than focusing on the younger generation.
