An interesting window into three generations and their perspectives on love, family, and grief, drawing parallels across time. Despite the many different perspectives and time jumps, this was a quick read and did not feel confusing or unmoored, which can happen if there are too many voices and time periods. I think it helped that the book was strongly character-driven.
Moderate: Biphobia, Racism, Pregnancy, and Abandonment
