If I had to sum it up… it just kept surprising me. It’s split up by diff pov and — no spoilers — I was always gasping with each new pov! 

It features so many diverse characters. Black. Cuban. Mixed race Afro latinx. Gay and lesbian characters. So. Many. Secrets! And I seriously could NOT guess what was going to happen. 

It was a slowly unraveling onion with so much depth and character development. What does it mean to be family? Do you choose yourself or your family? How do you stay a family when everyone’s trying to protect each other but keeps lying? It all comes to light! Cw Homophobia, Grief, Alcoholism, Cancer, Racism, and Infidelity. This is def a favorite of the year.
