This book is heavy, but it is so much more than that. It's family, it's generational trauma, it's a literary fiction novel that wraps around a fictional true crime book about a cold case that was never solved, it's realizing that decisions made decades ago that were never forgiven were more nuanced than was given credit for, it's reconnecting, it's love when you're doing the best that you can, it's secrets, it's pain, but ultimately it's so so beautiful
