Some things were predictable, but it didn't ruin the experience for me. Couldn't stop reading. It was wholesome how this big family, these characters are all connected, besides I always love a bit of messing around with time eheh. 
Usually I gravitate towards darker books, but the premise intrigued me. I wasn't too convinced after the first two chapters or so, but it didn't take long before it got me hooked. I just really loved how it made me feel while reading. I don't even know how to explain it, but once I was done with it I felt... at peace.

Young is incredible at setting scenes. The North Carolina countryside really comes alive in her prose. I loved the characters, but it felt like the book wrapped up really quickly and not in a believable way.
