The way this story was told was so alluring. The time jumps, the POV jumps - the way the story was woven together was really beautiful. There was so much pain and heartache, and so many moments where you wish you could just step in and tap the characters on the shoulder (or even yell at them at times) or just hold their hand.

The storyline of this book is really interesting, I like the idea behind the plot as well as the writing style. However, sometimes the timeline seemed a little confusing and I couldn’t always follow.
I liked the trans-representation and the book opens up an important discussion about race and gender.

By chapter 8, I could hardly put this book down! It was a compelling story with engaging characters. The characters made it gripping to keep reading to understand motives and try to guess what might happen next. However, I found the ending to be a bit unresolved and a hair disappointing. Upon further reflection too, I believe Bennett touched on a number of great themes but, unfortunately many of them were not developed to their fullest potential in this book. I enjoyed the book enough but not enough that I will be re-reading it or recommending it to everyone I know.
