The story follows Isla from about age 8 through adulthood as she spends her summers in Puerto Rico with extended family and school years with her alcoholic mother in New Jersey. This was a long narrative of generational trauma and familial secrets. I enjoyed the ending and all of it revelations. Book #68 in 2025
