 Really intense read that dives into grief, complicated family dynamics, and generational trauma. Felt extremely realistic. Don't think I could re-read this one

I really liked this book. The pacing is slower than some other books I've read recently and loved, but I like the way it unfolded and found it very hard to put down. I liked that every character was flawed, and it was very clear how, but you as the reader didn't feel like you needed to berate them.

Honestly there are few flaws with this book. It's the kind of book you could analyze over and over again. Fantastic.

I wish we had more of Hannah's thoughts

WOW! This was amazing. I can’t decide if it’s a four or five star, so I’m giving it four and a half for now, letting it simmer, and potentially bumping it up or down later.
